Summary |
"Star Hunter" by Andre Norton is a science fiction novel written in the early 1960s. The story centers around Ras Hume, a skilled pilot and out-hunter, who is dealing with the aftermath of a traumatic incident from his past that has removed him from the ranks of traditional pilots. Seeking new opportunities, Hume becomes embroiled in a complex scheme involving claims to an important estate and the quest to locate potential survivors from a mysterious incident. The opening of "Star Hunter" introduces a richly imagined world marked by intricate details and a sense of tension. Set against the backdrop of alien landscapes and societies, we are introduced to Ras Hume as he navigates a challenging meeting with Milfors Wass, the leader of a shadowy organization. Tension is palpable as Hume reveals his discovery of a long-lost spaceship that may hold the key to significant fortunes—and deeper secrets. As he strategizes a bold plan to claim a survivor from this past incident, we also meet Vye Lansor, a young man trapped in a grim reality. The narrative unfolds with a mix of intrigue, deception, and the anticipation of future encounters shaped by Hume's ambitious quest. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
