Witch World est l'une des sagas fondatrices de la fantasy. Cette oeuvre romantique et magique, où des femmes indépendantes jouent un rôle déterminant, est enfin publiée dans une édition complète et dans une nouvelle traduction.
En Estcarp, Kyllan, Kemoc et Kaththea sont les enfants de Simon Tregarth et de Jaelithe, la progéniture interdite d'un homme venu d'un autre monde et d'une Sorcière. Comme pour leurs parents, le Pouvoir s'est manifesté chez eux, leur permettant de partager pensées et émotions jusqu'à ne faire qu'un individu, quelle que soit la distance qui les sépare.
Un jour, leur mère leur annonce qu'elle part à la recherche de Simon, présumé mort au cours d'une expédition. Peu de temps après, les Sorcières exigent que Kaththea rejoignent leurs rangs, brisant l'unité du trio. Ses deux frères feignent d'obéir mais en secret, ils projettent de la libérer et de s'enfuir avec elle vers l'Orient. Mais qu'y a-t-il à l'Orient, au-delà des montagnes ? Personne ne le sait, car le Pouvoir des Sorcières masque ce lieu interdit. C'est pourtant là que les Trois qui se sont dressés contre Estcarp comptent se rendre.

Voodoo Planet is the third in a series of novels featuring the adventures of Dane Thorson and the spaceship Solar Queen, written in the 1950s by Andre Norton under her male pseudonym, Andrew North. In this installment, Dane and his shipmates land on the safari planet Khatka, settled by African refugees of an atomic race war on Earth. They soon face off with a witch doctor seeking to take over the planet.
This short work was originally published as a double title paperback by Ace Books in 1959 along with a reprint of Plague Ship, the second novel in the series. Norton followed it with a sequel ten years later and then co-authored a revival of the series in the 1990s.
The space race has gone interstellar! Western and Soviet agents vie for control of the strategic alien world of Topaz and the lost technology it conceals.
Agent Travis Fox awakens on Topaz after a crash landing, his memories a confusing mix of his own and those of a 19th-century Apache ancestor. His fellow agents have all been subject to the same experiment, some more thoroughly entangled in the past than others. Driven by his present-day memories and aided by a pair of mutant coyotes, he sets out to explore the landscape and finds Mongols of the Golden Horde who have escaped from the Russians' colony. Despite suspicion and scrambled memories on both sides-and a Russian mind-control device-Fox is determined to unite the Apache and Mongol tribes against their common enemy and keep Topaz' secrets from falling into Russian hands.
The third novel in Andre Norton's Time Traders series continues her tale of the Cold War expanded across time and space through the relics of a lost alien empire. It was originally published in 1962 by The World Publishing Company.
This sequel to The Stars Are Ours! was first published in 1957 by the World Publishing Company. It continues the tale of the humans who escaped an anti-intellectual Earth and founded a colony on Astra, a planet across the galaxy. Astra has a vibrant, intelligent species, as well as the ruins of a much older civilization.
Norton weaves two stories together by alternating points of view with each chapter. We follow a 4th generation colonist, as well as a mechanic-pilot newly arrived on Astra as a member of a research mission from a recently revived Earth.
Each is on a journey of discovery, and they find themselves allied with opposing sides of an ongoing war between two intelligent, indigenous species.
A brutal force of insectoid aliens called Throgs effortlessly destroy a Terran survey camp on Warlock, a planet seemingly devoid of intelligent life that both Throgs and Terrans hope to colonize. Two Terrans who survive the enemy attack must go on the run, weaponless and with only a pair of wolverines as their companions. These survivors are driven to an unknown destination by dreams so powerful that they may be visions; but as they get closer to their goal, crossing brutal landscapes, tumultuous seas, and fog-filled caverns, the two find themselves losing control over their actions and unsure of what is real in this strange and hostile world.
After an unusual mission trading catnip to the catlike Salariki of planet Sargol, Dane Thorson and other low-ranking crew members of the Solar Queen watch in horror as the rest of their crew falls mysteriously ill. Only the four men left standing-and maybe the Captain's bizarre pet Hoobat-can save their ship from drifting through space for all time, condemned as a plague ship.
Originally published by Gnome Press in 1956 under the name Andrew North, Plague Ship is the second installment in the Solar Queen series of science fiction novels by Andre Norton, the male pseudonym of Alice Mary Norton.
