Since her first SF novels were published in the 1940s, her tales of action and adventure throughout the galaxy have drawn countless readers to science fiction. Her fantasy, including the best-selling Witch World series, has been popular with readers for decades. Andre Norton was the first woman to receive the Gandalf Grand Master of Fantasy Award, presented by the World Science Fiction Society in 1977 and the first woman to be named a Grand Master by the Science Fiction Writers of America in 1983. ### From AudioFile In a parallel universe, which Simon Tregarth has entered through a portal from Earth, all is not well. Listening to this audiobook after hearing Volume 1 will ensure the reader has the necessary background. Nick Podehl is a no-nonsense storyteller who sets a forceful pace. His use of tone to portray the main characters reflects their relationships with one another and with those they are aiding. He imbues Simon with the resolve that is the driving force behind the struggle to find the nest of the Kolder. Simon's wife, the witch Jaelithe, is portrayed as strong and resilient, but also quieter and less forceful than Simon. J.E.M. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
