Now comes Andre Norton with Brother to Shadows, which starts with an appeal to fantasy expectations, with its medieval-style monastic brotherhood of "trained assassins, spies, bodyguards" going through the prescribed rituals following the death of their master and the source of his power, before raising science-fiction expectations by introducing aliens and spacecraft. By the time readers reach the end of this colorful novel of adventure and intrigue, they will have realized Norton's purpose is to explore inner resources and not social change - to create a world in which archetypal characters test their disciplined wills against nearly insurmountable obstacles. ... In Brother to Shadows, Jofre is cast out of his brotherhood in the first chapter and left to die in the wilderness, and when he does not die there, the priesthood seeks other means to procure his death. His skills, his fortitude, and his essential goodness enable him not only to survive but to do the right thing, and that leads him eventually not only to adventure but to self-discovery and finally to a central role in the acquisition of knowledge and the shaping of the future. No one does this sort of story better than Andre Norton....
