Why read it?
1 author picked The Forerunner Factor as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Forerunner is the book that made me a fan of Andre Norton. I enjoyed how she mixed space travel, ESP powers, and remarkable world-building.
Andre Norton’s Forerunner influenced the paranormal part of my own world-building. The alien girl, Simsa, was a compelling character. Starting off as a streetwise orphan on the planet Kuxortal, the human spaceman Thom takes her on a journey of self-discovery.
They must stop space pirates from plundering ancient warships. To do so, she must discover her true heritage of power and nobility.
From Kurt's list on sci-fi that meld military and paranormal themes.
