The Beast Master
''The Beast Master'' is a science fiction novel by Andre Norton published by Harcourt in 1959. It inaugurated the Beast Master series, or Hosteen Storm series after the main character.〔 In German-language translation it was published as ''Der Letzte der Navajos'' (:de: Arthur Moewig Verlag, 1963)〔 —literally ''The Last of the Navajo''.
Norton wrote one sequel published in 1962 and three by Andre Norton and Lyn McConchie of New Zealand were published forty years later, one of them after Norton's 2005 death. According to McConchie, they were "written solely by Lyn from a brief collaborated outline."〔 The first two latterday sequels were named the year's best novel by New Zealand science fiction fans (Sir Julius Vogel Award).〔("Sir Julius Vogel Awards Winners by Category" ). ''The Locus Index to SF Awards''. Locus Publications. Retrieved 2013-05-01.〕
==Plot==
''The Beast Master'' tells of Hosteen Storm, a Navajo〔 and former soldier who has empathic and telepathic connections with a group of genetically altered animals. The team emigrates from Earth to the distant planet Arzor where it is hired to herd livestock. Storm still harbors anger at his former enemies the Xik, and has sworn revenge on a man named Quade for his father's murder. According to ''Kirkus'' he finds "life and hope" instead.〔
In this novel and its sequels Norton explores aspects of Native American culture, specifically the Navajo, through metaphors in Storm's life and in the culture he adopts on his adopted planet.
