In the third and final volume of High Hallack, tales of high fantasy,
science fiction, and coming of age reach back as far as 1943, yet are
still as fresh and relevant today as when they were written. High
Hallack was a place in Andre Norton's fiction and was also the name of
the genre writer's library she opened in Tennessee. It is a wondrous
keep that she called home, and now High Hallack opens its gates and
allows these amazing stories to unfold. For well over a half century,
Andre Norton was one of the most popular science fiction and fantasy
authors in the world. With series such as Time Traders, Solar Queen,
Forerunner, Beast Master, Crosstime, and Janus, as well as many
standalone novels, her tales of adventure have drawn countless readers
to science fiction. Her fantasy novels, including the bestselling Witch
World series, her Magic series, and many other unrelated novels, have
been popular with readers for decades. Lauded as a Grand Master by the
Science Fiction Writers of America, she is the recipient of a Life
Achievement Award from the World Fantasy Convention. An Ohio native,
Norton lived for many years in Winter Park, Florida, and died in March
2005 at her home in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
