The Federation of Free Men,
By OAKSHAMAN "oakshaman" (Algoma, WI United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)
This review is from: Star Born (Paperback)
When the oppressive global dictatorship of Pax took over the Earth they put a stop to space exploration. Still, a few rebels escaped in the sleeper ships to found free new colonies- or perish in the attempt. Those few colonies that reached inhabitable worlds and survived were cut off for centuries. It was during these centuries of isolation and freedom that they were able to develop the mysterious mental powers that "civilization" had all but destroyed.Finally, when Pax had been eradicated from Earth by the Federation of Free Men, the rockets began to rise once more. This time they they possessed the faster than light drives that would enable them to make up for lost time. One such ship was the RS-10. This ship and its crew stumbled upon the world of Astra and it's strange, ruthless, degenerate, inhuman inhabitants. The Terrans did not trust these creatures but there was much that they could learn from them. Making a temporary alliance the expedition accompanied the aliens to a strange treasure city to help exploit its wonders. It was there that they discovered that the aliens had good reason to fear going to the treasure city alone. It was protected by Free Men who had arrived centuries before.... The classic Ace edition of this sci-fi classic has probably the best painted cover of a conventional space ship that I've ever seen. If there had been no other creator of science fiction and fantasy in the second half of the twentieth century, Andre Norton would have been enough.

Read it in sequence or alone,
By Jack Purcell (Placitas, NM USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Star Born (Paperback)
When I read this book during the mid-1950s I was lucky enough to be forced to read it as a sequel. The book hadn't been released when I read The Stars are Ours. There weren't many SF books on the library shelves in those days, so I returned to recheck the first one and discovered Star Born. Felt I'd died and went to heaven.I reread both a number of times through the years, always hoping Norton would add a few more sequels, assuming it was an obvious target for a series. It never happened. So, you're stuck with these two, which will probably cause you to join me in my wish Norton had written more.
