Sara's Station
The long-established colony world of Sargon seems a peaceful place when sixteen-year-old Sara Morgan and her father arrive in their supply ship. While working at the local spaceport, Sara saves a local lordling from an assassination attempt and flees with him and a telepathic monkey to the subterranean catacombs built by the mysterious Old Ones.
The Old Ones, known throughout the galaxy as an extinct race of higher beings, have left a doomsday device ticking beneath Sargon. Sara, Lordling Tig, and Banglebus struggle through the underground passages, escaping beasts and Tig’s relatives, both intent on killing them.
All the device requires is someone with the blood of the Old Ones in her veins to initiate the final self-destruct sequence.
And Sara is having the strangest dreams.
Sara's Station includes a discussion guide for SciFi/Fan Convention Panels and Book Clubs.

Science fantasy from a golden age
Andre Norton would be proud. Howard's rousing adventure harkens to days of fun and innocence in science fiction literature which many would love to revisit and which newer generations can find solace, if only for the space of a long, lazy day spent reading on the couch. Fun, engaging, and satisfying.

I think I might have been not the perfect audience for this book. This is supposed to be a hommage to the works of Andre Norton, which I am not familiar with, so I think I missed out on a lot of references and context.
Still, this was a quick and enjoyable read, telling the story of feisty Sara who in a fun reversal of stereotypes saves the prince and protects him from further harm.
This one's told as a classical adventure type story and I think is well suited for readers down to middle grade (but for adults as well!). The prose is very straightforward, the plot engaging and I absolutely loved the part when Sara comes to court and the humour with which this clash of cultures is told.
This book definitely deserves more readers and was a nice, light read for me!
