Ralestone's Luck
By Andre Norton

(c 1938 r 1966)

The Ralestone luck is a sword known as the luck of Lorne., a great blade forged during the Crusades by an Arab astrologer. It's been gone for over a century. Now the Ralestones must find it or lose every thing they have.

First I should say this it is not a science fiction or fantasy that Ms. Norton is so famous for. It is her second book, an adventure story following the The Prince Commands Prince Commands, also not a science fiction or fantasy, just a good adventure story.

I recommend this book for Andre Norton completest and fans of adventure stories that do not have any graphic sex, just great fun.

I have read this book so many times sense I first got it in the early 80's . She was the first sci fi writer I ever read . No Night Without Stars was the book . This one is fiction with pirate lore and the Old South . Two brothers and their sister search for a lost sword they hope will return their luck . It's a fun adventure .

This was her first book. It was a little immature and dated, but I enjoyed it and it kept my interest. This is another perspective of her abilities in the beginning and how she later honed and improved her plots and ability to hold your interest.
