Andre Norton · 2 novels · 1968–1969
Andre Norton's Zero Stone duology follows young gem trader Murdoc Jern after he inherits a mysterious, powerful alien artifact from his murdered guardian, forcing him into a dangerous search across the stars for its origin in The Zero Stone and its sequel Uncharted Stars. It is a self-contained space-adventure story rather than part of Norton's larger continuities.
