Synopsis

From the Sea to the Stars was originally published in parts as Sea Siege and Star Gate. This is the first time both novels have appeared together.

Sea Siege: The nuclear war had come at last and the research team on an island in the West Indies thought they had been lucky to survive. But survival was going to require more than luck, when they found themselves under attack by sea creatures out of darkest legend, directed by a malevolent intelligence from the depths of the sea.

Star Gate: Long ago, the Star Lords had come from a dying Earth to Gorth, where they helped the inhabitants build a civilization. Now some of the Lords have resumed wandering among the stars, but others have decided to travel through an interdimensional gate to another Gorth in a parallel universe. And when they find that in this universe the Star Lords from Earth conquered and enslaved the people of Gorth, their course is clear. They must battle their counterparts to free Gorth—even if it means their own destruction.

I had a good impression of Andre Norton previously, as a solid writer with decent if not outstanding stories (e.g. Plague Ship). This double edition was a bit of a disappointment. The book contains two completely separate novels (from very different fictional universes). Both seem to be mostly addres......more

Goodreads review by Doranna on October 05, 2010

Sea Siege, the first in this two-book collection, is one of my favorite Norton books in many ways. Her use of language, her immersion into the culture and people, her obvious love and knowledge of her subject...I drank this in with glee. Why not a five-star? Because it just sort of stops rather than......more

Goodreads review by Neil on March 18, 2015

Two novels in one volume. The first one, Sea Siege, is set on a West Indian island with looming atomic war and strange creatures appearing in the sea... and attacking! It's exciting with great characters and a wonderful setup. On its own, I would give this novel 5 stars. The second, Star Gate, is se......more

Goodreads review by Bruce on October 25, 2012

It's been many years since I read either "Sea Siege" or "Star Gate", and the years have not been kind. The juvenile nature of the stories left them lacking in substance for the mature man reading them now. I don't regret it, but I guess you really, can't go home againn.......more
