Summary
Star Hunter is a gripping standalone science fiction novel by Andre Norton, blending survival adventure with psychological intrigue on an alien world.
The story follows Vye Lansor, a young man with no memory of his past, who finds himself stranded on the dangerous jungle planet of Jubal.
Hunted and manipulated, Vye becomes the target of a deadly game orchestrated by Harb Mallory, a ruthless "star hunter" and interstellar agent with mysterious motives.
Jubal, with its savage terrain, alien wildlife, and strange ruins, becomes both a physical and mental battleground as Vye fights for survival—and for his identity.
Bit by bit, he begins to uncover the truth: he is part of a sinister plot involving mind control, corporate corruption, and power games played by powerful forces across the galaxy.
As Vye reclaims his memories, he must decide whether to run, fight back, or outwit the hunters using their own rules.
