About this listen

Only as interstellar mercenaries can humans go to the stars; the aliens who already dominate the galaxy allow no other recourse. But when Swordsman Third Class Kana Karr and his comrades-in-arms are betrayed and abandoned on a hostile world by their alien masters, the warriors from Earth begin a desperate but glorious march across a planet whose every sword is against them. Their actions may doom humanity's future...or lead the way to an empire of their own!

Four thousand years later, galactic civilization is collapsing, and the underfunded crew of an exploration starship is forced to set down on an uncharted planet: a mysterious, abandoned world that is achingly beautiful - and hauntingly familiar. Ranger Sergeant Kartr, telepath and stellar Patrolman, searches with his crewmates for the source of a beacon which may mean escape for them all. What he finds is far stranger: the first clue to what may become the greatest revelation in galactic history!

The defining events of future history as only Andre Norton could tell them!

I love the two linked stories. Still fresh from early 1959s. Great story telling. Stars, Space and ESP still an exciting author and started my love for the genre.

I can't finish it, I'm not sure whether the writing or the narrators delivery has the most cheese but I'm out of here...

damn this is cheesy

Since there are 2 stories, I'll review them apart:
Star Guard is more a military style story, that was filled with intrigue, backstabbing and more.
Star Rangers is more an exploration type of story. With quite an exquisite turn.
Both interesting, with differing vibes.
