Firehand

by Andre Norton

  deadening trap of Hawaika's past, the raw, still-bleeding misery of his

  renunciation of Dominion, of Sapphirehold… Aye, he had paid his dues.

  A lot of others would have paid theirs if he had not.

  His head turned once more. "I'm in, Gordon. I've got some pretty

  strange talents myself. Working for the Project seems like as good a way as

  any of putting them to use."

  About the Authors

  FOR OVER FIFTY years "one of the most distinguished living SF and

  fantasy writers" (Booklist), Andre Norton has been penning best-selling

  tales that earned her a unique place in the hearts and minds of readers.

  Honored as a Grand Master by both the Science Fiction Writers of

  America and the World Fantasy Convention, she has garnered millions of

  readers for her most famous series, the Witch World novels. These works

  and others, such as Imperial Lady (with Susan Shwartz), Dare to Go

  A-Hunting, and The Jekyll Legacy (with Robert Bloch), all Tor books,

  have made her "one of the most popular writers of our time" (Publishers

  Weekly). In addition to her novels, which number over forty works of SF

  and fantasy, she has recently created the Tales of Witch World. She lives

  in Winter Park, Florida.

  P. M. Griffin has written a number of SF and fantasy novels, including

  Seakeep from Storms of Victory and Falcon Hope from Flight of

  Vengeance, the first and second books of Witch World: The Turning, and

  has contributed stories to two volumes in the Tales of the Witch World

  series. She is also the author of the Star Commandos adventure series.

  Her last collaboration with Andre Norton, Redline the Stars, was

  published last year by Tor books. She lives in New York City.
