Exiles of the Stars — Andre Norton

THE SHIP
The Free Trader starship Lydis appears to be making an ordinary run to the planet Thoth, carrying incense for the great temples of Karturn. And so she is--until a civil war lands her in the middle of a battle of ancient powers and nameless evil, with a Forerunner treasure at its heart.

THE CREW
The crew, too, seems normal enough--until you look closely at two of its members: Krip Vorlund, a man who walks in a body not his own, and his pet, a four-legged beast hiding the mind of Maelen the Moon Singer, a woman whose esper powers can save them all --or bring them to peril and eternal destruction.

THE STORY
An extraordinary novel of interplanetary adventure in a world where strange and compelling powers of the mind hold sway. Andre Norton has created another fabulous tale that will keep you enthralled from first page to last. Enter once again into the world of Moon of Three Rings, and let Andre Norton's magic carry you into the stars....
