Storm Over Warlock
Andre Norton
Book Overview:
The Throg task force struck the Terran survey camp a few minutes after dawn, without warning, and with a deadly precision which argued that the aliens had fully reconnoitered and prepared that attack.

Young Shann, a typical Norton hero - no surviving family and ready to fight his way up regardless - be

"Norton started out writing juvenile historical fiction and adventure, and then moved into fantasy and finally science fiction. Again and again in h
