Book description
Hey, have you heard "Storm Over Warlock" yet? I just finished the audiobook and it's the kind of story that keeps you on the edge of your seat from the first crackle of the narrator's voice.
It all starts in the gray light of dawn, when the Throg task force-those alien warriors from the sky-crash into the Terran survey camp on Warlock. The attack comes out of nowhere, with a chilling precision that makes you think they had mapped every inch of the base before they even landed. Energy lances-those bright, yellow-red bolts that flash like lightning-sweep across the walls in methodical arcs. The sound of them thudding against metal and the sharp hiss of the power surging through the air are so vivid you can almost feel the heat.
There's this single witness-flattened on a ledge, trembling. He knows, with every nerve, that once the last bolt lands, there won't be a single human left alive in that little slice of the world. The narrator's pacing here is perfect; each breath sounds like the ticking of a countdown.
And then we meet Shann Lantee, the most unassuming of the Terrans stationed at the camp. The book puts him at the heart of the chaos, a lone figure left weaponless on a hostile planet. The way the narrator brings out Shann's disbelief and fear is almost cinematic. He's the kind of character you'd expect to just fade into the background, but the story turns him into a beacon of hope, an ordinary person thrust into a battle that seems impossible.
What makes this audiobook feel so immediate is how the narrator layers the sounds-energy blasts, distant alien cries, the rustle of alien vegetation-against Shann's internal monologue. The story flips between the brutal, methodical assault from above and the ground-level tension of alien creatures lurking in the shadows. It's a thrilling dance of survival and alien menace, all wrapped in one voice that doesn't rush but lets the stakes unfold naturally.
By the end, you're left with a sense that Warlock is a living thing, breathing, watching, and that Shann, against all odds, might be the only one who can tilt the balance. It's a solid, fast-paced listen that showcases how Andre Norton can turn a high-energy plot into a pulse-pounding audio adventure. Give it a go-you'll be listening, thinking, and rooting for that quiet Terran to rise against the storm.
