Should These Be Your Sci-Fi Priorities Too?
Besides Shadow Hawk, I have also read Forerunner by Andre Norton and enjoyed it.
The twists in this book in terms of the plotline totally floored me and I am still thinking about it months later.
I recently read her again her fantasy work, , The Curse of Shalon, and was blown away by her pro style and her character work and the depth of the emotional investment that she was able to create for me within that story.
Down Below Beyond has some fantastic alien cultures and creatures in it that actually feel like they're inhuman.
Really, really enjoyed the Umbreal Storm.
