Forerunner
Andre Norton · 5 novels · 1960–1985
Forerunner and its sequel, Forerunner: The Second Venture, follow a young woman on an alien world who joins forces with an off-world traveler on a dangerous search for relics of a vanished, ancient civilization, hoping to find clues to how civilization itself began. It is a self-contained two-book adventure by Andre Norton rather than part of a longer sequence, later gathered as the omnibus The Forerunner Factor.
