The Throg task force struck the Terran survey camp a few minutes after dawn, without warning, and with a deadly precision which argued that the aliens had fully reconnoitered and prepared that attack. Eye-searing lances of energy lashed back and forth across the base with methodical accuracy. And a single cowering witness, flattened on a ledge in the heights above, knew that when the last of those yellow-red bolts fell, nothing human would be left alive down there.
And so Shann Lantee, most menial of the Terrans attached to the camp on the planet Warlock, was left alone and weaponless in the strange, hostile world, the human prey of the aliens from space and the aliens on the ground alike.
ANDRE NORTON has become one of the highest rated authors of science-fiction adventure now writing. A native of Cleveland, Ohio, a book collector, and s-f fan, Ace Books have had the pleasure of presenting her best novels in newsstand editions.
Reviews:
"A satisfying and mature novel which readers will seize upon if they want to enjoy a good adventure story. A survey base on a remote planet is wiped out by a raid of Earth's enemies, the Throgs; the only survivor must face the perils of an unexplored planet while trying somehow to strike back at the enemy... As always Norton creates both human and alien beings well, and tells a story that you can't stop reading." -- New York Herald Tribune
"UP TO NORTON'S BEST STANDARDS." -- Library Journal
Produced and narrated by Mark Douglas Nelson

must be a Mark Nelson early submission

Obviously read by Mark Nelson. There are some flaws in the sound engineering that causes intermittent inaudibly soft sections with periodic competing background noises meant to interpret storms or tense situations. That did not work. But outside of that it is a good story and Mark Nelson reads it with his usual adventurous style. Music by Garage Band- not achieved. I do have to say that like much sci-fi the aliens are 1 dimensional vehicles- good sci-fi explores alien personalities. It’s hard to create that but when done well it enables a richer story.
Mark, I appreciate you

But during chapter 3 it sounds like you're reading while in a bathroom and it sounds like there is constant running water in the background with the audio being shaky. Aside from that, excellent work as always. Thank you.
ok

very good and interesting story. The narrator does an excellent job. My only complaint is the use of certain lengthy sound effects that distract from the story.

Great story, great narration. But the sound effects are a great disservice to the listening experience.
