Three Hands for Scorpio - Softcover

One of the best-loved and most famous science fiction and fantasy authors of all time, the late Andre Norton was named a Grand Master by the Science Fiction Writers of America. She wrote over a hundred novels, which have sold millions of copies worldwide. Miss Norton lived in Murfreesboro, Tennessee and passed away in March 2005 at the age of ninety-three.

The late grand mistress of sf and fantasy delivers yet another adventure with engaging characters, an unusual setting, and a thoroughly worked-out plot. The three telepathic daughters of a border lord are abducted as a ploy in a longstanding feud, and are left to die in the underground Dismals, where they meet a young man and his felinoid companion. With his aid, they learn not only a long-held secret but also a way, if fortune favors, to defeat both new and old evils. This tale is told with all of Norton's charm and vigor, not to mention yet another set of strong women accompanied by cats or reasonable facsimiles thereof, showing once more why she has maintained her popularity for more than a half-century. Unlike some of her recent books in established series, it constitutes a good introduction to her strengths for those who haven't yet encountered them. Frieda Murray
