Chronicle Toward Books Beast Master's Planet: Omnibus of Beast Master and Lord of Thunder (Beast Master / Hosteen Storm #1 & 2)
"In 1959 Andre Norton published The Beast Master, a fast-paced science fiction adventure that introduced to readers a new kind of hero, Hosteen Storm. Storm, a Navajo from the American southwest, served in the Planetary Confederacy forces as a Beast Master teamed with an African eagle, a meerkat, and a dune cat." "Telepathically linked to his team of animals, Storm served valiantly in the war that eventually defeated the alien Xiks, though victory could not prevent the aliens from destroying Earth. With his homeworld gone, Storm emigrated to the colonized frontier planet Arzor, where he would have to help fight a holdout Xik force that has brought the war to his adopted home." In Lord of Thunder, Storm's beast master skills and animal partners are needed to unravel the mystery behind a huge gathering of the indigenous Norbies. Only Storm and his half-brother, Logan Quade, can penetrate the Norbies' clan secrets and discover what is behind the threat of an uprising that could destroy the tenuous peace between the colonists and the aliens who share their planet.Mention Of Books Beast Master's Planet: Omnibus of Beast Master and Lord of Thunder (Beast Master / Hosteen Storm #1 & 2)

The Beastmaster, Hosteen Storm, has been relocated to Arzor now that Earth has been destroyed. Storm travels to Arzor to meet a person that his grandfather had told him had murdered Storms father. In the course of dealing with a Xik attack/infestation (the Xik are the reason Earth is no more) they meet, the truth becomes known and all seems to end happily. Until the next crisis.

Very good stories. Reminded me why I liked her when I was a teen.
Alice Mary Norton always had an affinity to the humanities. She started writing in her teens, inspired by a charismatic high school teacher. First contacts with the publishing world led her, as many other contemporary female writers targeting a male-dominated market, to choose a literary pseudonym. In 1934 she legally changed her name to Andre Alice. She also used the names Andrew North and Allen
