(4.3 stars; 516 reviews)

"Somewheres on the jungle world of Jumala, there was a man in hiding—a man whose mind had been reconditioned with another's brain pattern and for whom there was a fabulous reward. Star Hunter is a thrill-packed account of that other-worldly game of hide-and-seek between a man who did not know all his own powers and an interstellar safari that sought something no man had a right to find...."

Really good story


(5 stars)

I enjoyed this story. I love classic sci fi. Hume has a score to settle with the people who drummed him out of his pilot job. As a member of the Hunter's Guild, he encounters a planet that holds the key to his revenge, but he needs the help of someone who is less than honest. The best person to partner with is the ruthless crime boss Wass. They put their plan in effect, only to encounter a third player, an intelligent life on the planet that should have been inhabited only by animals. The recordings are fine, the reader did a great job, and the story was great! Enjoy!

A Good Read


(4 stars)

The reader did a fairly good job. I think she needs a microphone upgrade however but overall not bad.

I have read and listened to a few Andre Norton books and thought the stories assume, perhaps the reader has an understanding of a lore or world in order to grasp what’s going on. This novel is no exception. What has become clear to me is the world in this book resembles others but is also a one off as are many of her books, even ones in a “series” I did some research and found Andre Norton. Com and it became clear that obscurity and randomness are a pattern. Even in her Witch World Series the tales self admittedly were the result of a literary meander and not a plan. I was looking to see if there was a logical order to read/listen to AN but have concluded, not really. So there is always a sense in her books that you are only understanding a sliver of the world backdrop which makes her stories less immersive while mysterious and /or haphazzard. Nonetheless the stories provide a an imaginative diversion. This reader is clear and accurate - if a little monotone, it is not off putting.

Never got into this one


(2 stars)

I tend to listen to books very distractedly whilst I’m doing other things and I also listen to very small chunks at a time. This book doesn’t lend itself to the scenario and I never really got into the story. This could be more to do with me though then the quality of the lesson. It took me by surprise when it suddenly ended and I can’t really say I have a found it gripping at any point. The narrator was okay, if a bit flat. Not a criticism though and obviously we are grateful for the effort put in.

Enjoyed it


(4 stars)

Enjoyed the story, although I didn't quite care as much for the ending, overall a good listen. The reader did a great job from start to finish, about as good as anything else I've heard on LibriVox, I would listen to anything else from the same reader again.

A much more involved story than suggested


(4 stars)

The précis doesn’t do this one justice; there’s lots going on in a well paced plot which is well told and the reading is pretty good too. Very enjoyable
