Garren of Earth has been brought to an ancient civilization where he is told he has been selected to mate with Thrala, the princess. But, she is currently in the clutches of the Dark Ones. Garren must rescue her to prove he is worthy and also to save Thrala's people. Gregg does his usual excellent job reading this sci-fi. Thanks Gregg!
Disappointing

I listened to and enjoyed a lot of Norton's books, but this proved to be a fiasco. One-dimensional characters, predictible plot and not much of a scifi story after all. Greg's voice was very pleasant but that was the only good part if this listen.
Just "ok"

Even though it was a short story and dated, it was a little weak on storyline and plot. not one of this authors better works. The reader did an excellent job though.

I couldn't help feeling like the story jumped through itself a little like a sketch. I realize it's a short story but it felt kind of rushed or underdeveloped with awkward leaps, as if it were highly abridged from a book much longer. Funny because I've enjoyed other Andre Norton stories quite a bit. still an interesting concept.
