| Summary |
"Storm Over Warlock" by Andre Norton is a science fiction novel written in the early 1960s. The story unfolds in a desperate scenario where humanity is fighting for survival against alien invaders known as the Throgs, who launch a surprise attack on a Terran Survey camp. The protagonist, Shann Lantee, is a minor member of the Survey team who finds himself as the sole survivor after the brutal assault, leading him into the wilds of the alien world Warlock. At the start of the novel, Shann witnesses the devastating Throg attack and recognizes he must flee to survive. In the ensuing chaos, he recalls his responsibility to locate the wolverines—mutated animals bred for exploration—which he had been caring for in the camp. Driven by the urgent need to escape and find food and shelter, he navigates through dangerous terrain while reflecting on his past and the harsh realities of life as a marginalized laborer. The opening sets the tone for an epic struggle against the aliens while introducing themes of survival, the uncharted wilderness of Warlock, and Shann's evolution from an insignificant crew member to a resourceful survivor in a hostile environment.
