Danger in the stars!



The birth of a hero is never easy. Clumsy as an elephant in high heels, he is nothing like his legendary scout father.



But inside that bull-moose-of-a-body lies the heart of a hero whose moment has arrived! Next, a boy survives alien invasion—but must learn to think and act like his reptilian enemy to exact retribution for slaughter.



These and two other tales of coming-of-age-through-peril from the writer who invented the genre, Andre Norton. Includes 'The X Factor,' 'Voorloper,' 'The Eye of the Monster,' and 'The Sioux Spaceman'—all set in Norton's 'Council/Confederation' universe.
