Andre Norton lived a long life and managed to create many wonderful works that have long been included in the golden fund of world fiction. For more than half a century, she has been one of the most popular science fiction and fantasy authors in the world. It is no coincidence that Norton’s work was so highly valued by the Strugatsky brothers. They translated one of her novels into Russian, and another inspired the Strugatskys to create the book “Noon XXII Century. Return". The rich imagination and lively language of Norton's works have received recognition from millions of readers around the world. In addition to the title novel, this edition also includes “Search at the Crossroads of Time,” “Stargate,” and “Operation Search in Time.”
