Beast Master's Planet: Omnibus of Beast Master and Lord of Thunder (Beastmaster Book 1)

Beast Master's Planet collects two science fiction adventures by Andre Norton. The Beast Master, published in 1959, follows Hosteen Storm, a Navajo from the American southwest who serves in the Planetary Confederacy forces as a Beast Master. Storm is telepathically linked to his animal team—an African eagle, a meercat, and a dune cat—and fights in a war against the alien Xiks. Though the Confederacy defeats the Xiks, the aliens destroy Earth. Storm emigrates to the colonized frontier planet Arzor, where he must help combat a remaining Xik force. In Lord of Thunder, Storm uses his beast master abilities and animal partners to investigate a large gathering of the indigenous Norbies. Working with his half-brother Logan Quade, Storm seeks to uncover clan secrets and determine the cause of a potential uprising that threatens the fragile peace between colonists and the alien inhabitants of Arzor. This omnibus edition presents space opera featuring action on an alien world. The title is sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
