Product Description:
Someone is kidnapping the animals of beast masters' teams. On planet after planet, telepathically gifted people are being attacked-some of them murdered-by a conspiracy to take their precious animals.
Laris, an orphan who trains exotic alien creatures for an interstellar circus, knows that somehow her employer is connected to the deadly plot. She also knows that those involved will kill her if she talks.
Beast master Hosteen Storm has heard about the plot, but when the circus comes to Arzor, he doesn't realize his mortal peril. The circus, with its many colorful acts, is danger cloaked in the swirling excitement of the show. Laris loves all animals, and is herself able to communicate with them. When she meets Hosteen and becomes friends with him and his family, she desperately wants to warn him, to save him and his animals. But as the circus nears the end of its stay on Arzor, the deadly plotters prepare to strike at those Laris cares about . . . and at her, if she interferes!

Entertaining, keeps the story going (Beast Master) without lapses. Lyn McConchie is an author worth reading on her own "standing."

I wanted to like this book. I tried to like it, I really did. But this book failed to capture me. I love Andre Norton and grew up reading her. The first sci-fi I ever read as a kid was Andre Norton's Solar Queen books, and I quite like the new collaborations written in the SQ universe.

This is the first beast master book I have read, and probably the only one that I will. It is directed more towards young readers, and is rather lackluster. Laris seems to have no opinions or mind of her own, and slavishly allows herself to be used by the circus owner who is also her bondmaster. Since she has been illegally bonded to him, she could have announced this on various planets the circus has visited, and be freed. The author tries to give her a conscious, but she never seems to use it, even when ... Read More
