Star Hunter

Andre Norton's Star Hunter plunges into a tense science fiction frontier where survival, deception, and alien mystery collide. On the world of Nahuatl, disgraced former star pilot Ras Hume has reinvented himself as an Out-Hunter and comes to the underworld power Milfors Wass with a dangerous scheme involving a lost heir, a stranded ship, and an impostor meant to strike back at the corporate forces that ruined him. But the planet Jumala is far stranger than a routine safari world, and the men quickly find themselves trapped in a deadly pattern of pursuit they do not understand. Rynch Brodie awakens in the wilderness with fractured memories, an uneasy sense that his life is not what it seems, and a compulsion to go somewhere he cannot explain. As he joins forces with Hume and, later, Vye, the hunt becomes a desperate struggle against intelligent lights, herding creatures, hidden enemies, and a concealed native presence that may be driving them toward disaster. Caught between corporate schemes and an alien world's secret intelligence, they must fight for trust, identity, and the chance to survive.
