I remember reading the Mark of the Cat a long time ago in its standalone version and getting wrapped up in the story of Hynkkel and the world in which he is located. A number of years later, I finally got the chance to read both stories within this universe created by Andre Norton and inspired by the works of Karen Kuykendall.

Hynkkel, commanded by his father to travel into the unknown in a test of survival, starts out with almost nothing, but the red-gold sandcat pendent worn around his neck as a reminder of his killed cat. His trek will bring him to a cave where he will enter the secret world of the cat... to a trial that will mark his destiny. In Year of the Rat, Andre's never before published sequel to Mark of the Cat, we find the natural water sources of the five queendoms of the Outer Region drying up. Hynkkel, not fully recovered from his previous trials, must now find a way to stop this loss and recover the missing water. For in a desert climate, wate Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
