With his companion Eet, a strange feline mutant with phenomenal mental powers, he soon discovered that the stone in the ring was actually a Zero Stone—an alien device left behind by an ancient vanished race—and it was the key to powers beyond human imagination. Murdoc Jern’s father, an interstellar gem trader, was murdered by outlaw competitors and left behind an odd ring, large enough to fit over the finger of a space suit. Murdoc and Eet had to solve the secret of the Zero Stone, and very quickly, because very greedy and dangerous people wanted that ring, and wouldn’t hesitate at a second murder to obtain it.

A great light read for SF fans Uncharted Stars, the second half of this omnibus collection, was the first science fiction book I ever read, and it still remains a favorite. One of the things that I really liked about Norton's science fiction is that over the course of her writing career, she created a huge, complex universe that appears as the background to her stories. The books in which she created this universe are not related per se, but they all take place in the same milieu. This allows her to toss off allusions to the greater universe which provide tantalizing glimpses of places, people, and adventures. The best books of their era. I have only read The Zero Stone. It is the only Andre Norton book that was so awesome that I read it twice. I have not yet read the second volume.. "great" according to Amazon Customer. always loved her stories, I would recommend her books to any Sci Fi reader and lover of good stories, awesome
