Search for the Star Stones

Written by Andre Norton

Narrated by Charles Constant

Murdoc Jern's father, an interstellar gem trader, was murdered by outlaw competitors and left behind an odd ring, large enough to fit over the finger of a space suit. With his companion Eet, a strange feline mutant with phenomenal mental powers, he soon discovered that the stone in the ring was actually a Zero Stone-an alien device left behind by an ancient vanished race-and it was the key to powers beyond human imagination.

Murdoc and Eet had to solve the secret of the Zero Stone, and very quickly, because very greedy and dangerous people wanted that ring, and wouldn't hesitate at a second murder to obtain it.

Reviews for Search for the Star Stones

[Adrienne Ashton · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

A good example of an Andre Norton two parter. I thought it quite well done, and had moments of suspense. There was more world building in these novels than other Andre Norton novels, and so it was not as fast moving as other Norton books. Still I listened to the end, which was abrupt. Most of Andre Norton's two partners are abrupt. It is worth reading or listening to.
