Still, bearing in mind that both are books of their time, they are good reads. The flaws are still there, but the fact is that this was an sf book featuring a Navajo protagonist at a time (1959) when the future was mainly seen as white. On a planet with alien life forms and untold secrets from it's pre-Human past. The tone of the book is detached, measured and firm. The first new exciting Beast Master adventure in decades Beast Master Hosteen Storm has endured great perils to carve out a life for himself on Arzor, the colony planet he's called home since the destruction of Earth by the alien Xik. (I think I may have even written a book report on it.) I appreciated then the tragic burden carried by Storm as the last of his tribe, charged by his grandfather with maintaining a family vendetta (which drives a lot of the narrative) but then also caught up in both a Xik plot against the humans and the discovery of lost ancient alien tech under the mountains. Still, the first book reminded me of the magic it exerted on my mind in a Belfast classroom long ago.
Storm’s animals are female, which is interesting. Storm’s mother is mentioned in passing, but she is dead. It’s also worth noting that there isn’t a single female speaking character in either book. It’s basically the Old West in space, although nobody ever says that, with Storm set up as uniquely placed to bridge the communication gap between humans and natives. He is an ex-soldier, trained to have a psychic link with his animal conpanions - two meerkats, an eagle and a big tiger-like cat, and he is sent to the planet of Arzor to earn his living as a civilian.Īrzor turns out to be a sparsely settled planet whose main industry appears to be the ranching of the cattle-like frawns, carried out by human settlers in negotiation with the indigenous Norbies, who have a complex tribal structure and totem-based religion. Both concern a future galaxy where Earth has been destroyed in the final act of a war with the alien Xik, and our protagonist, Hosteen Storm, is (as far as he knows) the only survivor of the Navajo. Not quite so long ago, I got it and its sequel, Lord of Thunder, in a single volume, Beast Master’s Planet.
