About this listen
Unknown worlds - unknown dangers
The Stars Are Ours: Dard Nordis is a hunted man. His brother was murdered for covert activities as a scientist in a world in which scientists and engineers are blamed for the global war that smashed civilization. The global dictatorship of Pax has ordered their execution. Now he is on the run, trying to find the secret stronghold of his brother's friends and colleagues - a hidden place where the few remaining scientists are desperately building a spaceship to escape to the stars.
Star Born: Centuries after the desperate flight from Earth, Pax has been overthrown and humanity again reaches for the stars. Rof Kurbi's spaceship reaches the planet Astra, but he and the crew do not know that the planet already has a colony established centuries ago by the fugitive humans from Earth. Nor do they know that the apparently friendly natives of the planet are actually the malevolent remnants of a corrupt civilization that all but destroyed itself millennia ago - and that they are plotting to eliminate all humans from Astra, both the recent arrivals and the star born colonists.

Only as interstellar mercenaries can humans go to the stars; the aliens who already dominate the galaxy allow no other recourse. But when Swordsman Third Class Kana Karr and his comrades-in-arms are betrayed and abandoned on a hostile world by their alien masters, the warriors from Earth begin a desperate but glorious march across a planet whose every sword is against them.

Story
An orphan, Blake Walker has never really known who he was, and his strange flashes of intuition have always set him apart from those who raised him and everyone else he has known. Acting on one of those flashes, he prevented a murder. But neither the assailant nor his intended victim were from the world Walker had always known - he had stumbled onto the greatest secret of the ages. Our Earth is only one of an infinite number of Earths, each with a slightly different history from the others, each separated from the others in a crosstime dimension.

Murdoc and Eet had to solve the secret of the Zero Stone, and very quickly, because very greedy and dangerous people wanted that ring.

In the beginning, the gods destroyed the world. Five hundred years later, things haven’t gotten much better for humans. The demigods that were left behind to guard over humanity have been using them as fodder for an endless civil war between themselves, and the humans just go on dutifully slaughtering each other, battle after battle. It’s not all bad, though. Perry McGown makes his living off those bloody, stinking battlefields. He works on a crew that reclaims all the spent shell casings. But if anyone found out that he was a deserter from the war, he’d be executed for heresy.

The wall just didn’t look right. Alex has been trying to cope. Life after his deployment had been rough. His ex-wife thought he needed to stop disappointing their daughter. She was right. He would try harder. With six hours before his little girl’s fourth birthday party, he saw the anomaly. One wall was too short. Plenty of time to tear out a panel and look behind it. He found a brick wall. His house wasn’t made of brick. Behind that was another just like the first. He still had time. When the second wall came down, Alex stood and stared at the shining doorway.

He had snuck out of the small Terran base on the planet Warlock in the Circe system to find two artificially evolved wolverines, Taggi and his mate Togi, and bring them back to the base before anyone notices that they are missing. While he is gone, a force of Throgs, implacably hostile insectoid aliens, attacks the base and kills all of its occupants.

I was very glad to have listened to this Norton find on Audible, because I now have the whole story that begins with, To The Stars and concludes with Star Born. I have the latter book but hadn't heard of the former. So this was well worth the listen to get the full picture!

Good 50s SF
This story is clearly the result of the 50s fear of both nuclear war and autocratic regimes. Both humans and the ETs have had a bad history in this regard. A small band of scientists takes off to the stars to find a different life but find the same old problems on a new world.

Nice voice and character distinction, but…
Why does no one spend time with the narrators of audio books to discuss pronunciation?
It’s not a Visa screen, like the credit card, it’s a visa screen like vision.
The job title is not “Mě dí co” it’s Medico like Medic.
I don’t blame the narrator totally, some research or confirmation would help though, but I place most of the blame on whomever is behind the book being recorded.
This gentleman has a pleasant expressive voice and does a good job of distinguishing between characters. And because of that I just went back and changed my 3 to a 4 for performance.
And I know part of my frustration is that Andre Norton is one of my favorite authors.
With that being said, it’s nice to hear these books read together since they are a series. Having grown up in the 1950’s, the first book was printed in 1954, she brings out all of the fear of that time period. In her story, the problem is Pax, the ruling body. At the time it was doing bomb drills in elementary school because the fear of the atom bomb was so great.
So the thought of escaping in desperation and starting a new life on another planet was appealing. A simpler life. Even today with all of the stress and complications in our world, it’s appealing to think of escaping to a simpler life.
I hope you enjoy this even half as much as I did.

A Great Classic
Norton was my 1st experience in Science Fiction.
This was stand out story on the 1950s so it take a bit of intelligence and experience to weave through the lingua of the time.

Tedious
Narrator was competent, story plot was slow and simplistic, but the English was awful. Her scanty use of contractions made both the narration and dialogue seem unnatural. But for some reason, she had no problem using uncommon or archaic contractions like ‘daren’t’ (which she used twice before I couldn’t take any more and gave up)
