One of Andre Norton's best! A fantastically written story about a totally different world. Everyone into science fiction should definitely read it! ( )

Loved this as a child - one of the books that introduced me to science fiction. ( )

Hosteen Storm is an ex-soldier. After a war with aliens is over, the human soldiers are resettled on other planets, as Earth has been rendered uninhabitable. He chooses a home that should suit his preference for an outdoor lifestyle, and has brought his animal battle team with him. This includes an eagle, two meerkats, and a big cat. He takes a job that uses his animal control talents, and hence adds a horse to his group of friends.

He does have another motive, tracking down an enemy named Quade.

However, he ends up working with Quade, and makes an amazing alien discovery. His war is not over yet.
