About “Beast Master's Ark”

Beast Master's Ark by Andre Norton follows Hosteen Storm, a survivor on the colony planet Azor, who faces a deadly threat known as Death-Which-Comes-In-The-Night that kills grazing animals and attacks humans, leaving only bones. With the help of his telepathically linked animals and a young woman who possesses beast master ability but distrusts others with such power, Hosteen strives to prevent the scourge from spreading to other colony planets. The fate of Azor and its inhabitants, as well as the safety of other colonies, depends on stopping the creature before it can devastate more worlds.
