Acerca de este libro electrónico
In 1866, only men uprooted by war had reason to ride into Tubacca, Arizona, a nondescript town as shattered and anonymous as the veterans drifting through it. So when Drew Rennie, newly discharged from Forrest's Confederate scouts, arrived leading everything he owned behind him-his thoroughbred stud Shiloh, a mare about to foal, and a mule-he knew his business would not be questioned...

Acerca del autor
Andre Norton, born Alice Mary Norton on February 17, 1912, in Cleveland, Ohio, is widely celebrated as the "Grand Dame of Science Fiction and Fantasy." Her literary career, spanning over seven decades, has left an indelible mark on the genres of speculative fiction. Norton's journey began with a passion for storytelling that saw her pen her first novel while still in high school. She adopted the pen name "Andre Norton" to appeal to a broader audience, particularly young male readers, during a time when female authors were often marginalized in the science fiction and fantasy genres.Norton's work is characterized by richly imagined worlds, complex characters, and themes of adventure and self-discovery. She was a pioneer in creating strong, independent female protagonists, a revolutionary idea in a genre traditionally dominated by male heroes. Her ability to weave elements of mythology, folklore, and history into her narratives set her apart and influenced a generation of writers, including Ursula K. Le Guin and C.J. Cherryh.Despite her acclaim, Norton faced challenges, including the struggle for recognition in a male-dominated field and health issues that plagued her later years. Nevertheless, her prolific output—over 130 novels—cemented her legacy. She was the first woman to be inducted into the Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame in 1997 and received the prestigious Grand Master Award from the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America in 1984.Norton's influence extends beyond her storytelling; she championed the importance of libraries and literacy, often crediting her local library for igniting her love of reading. Her enduring legacy continues to inspire readers and writers alike, ensuring her place as a cornerstone of speculative fiction.
