Finished Star Gate by Andre Norton, this evening. At some point, so many years ago it feels like a story from another person's life, I read a stack of novels by Andre Norton. I have a list of titles that seem familiar from that time, and Star Gate is one of them. By the time I finished the alleged reread of Star Gate, I began to contemplate the fallibility of memory. Nothing was familiar except for the title. That's just fine. First read or reread, this short novel was a quick, entertaining read that maintains a solid pace and is populated by believable characters. Norton is not an author who spoon feeds a reader, providing enough detail to give a good frame of reference, then leaving much to the reader's imagination. The adventure told in this story is better described as science fantasy that science fiction, but that's a detail, not a complaint. Well worth the time spent tracking a copy down.
