"[Victory on Janus is] a fast-moving adventure story set in a vivid imaginary world."
Product Description
On the distant jungle world of Janus, Naill Renfro hopes to work off his debts and begin his life anew. But soon Naill begins to remember another place, in another time--when he was not human, but something else: a native of Janus, in the days before its civilization fell. Embarking on a quest to learn more of his alien heritage, Naill will discover the mysterious source of his strange new memory, the fate of the others of his kind--and the story of human invaders who devastated the once-proud world!

Many thanks to Baen Books for reprinting these two volumes as one. Originally printed as Judgement On Janus & Victory on Janus they have been out of print for far too long.
Premise:
Enter Nail Renfrew, resident of the Dipple a great melting pot of cultures and refugee's from a great interstellar war. His homeworld lost and work almost impossible to find he sells himself as a bondsman to provide for his mother.
Shipped to a distant planet he finds himself virtually a slave for a strict religious sect. They used bondsmen to clear the great forests that cover the world. However they are concealing something, occaisionally caches of 'treasure' are discovered proof of an intelligent native species.
Nail finds one such cache and contracts the 'green sick'. He is left to die but instead awakens much later to find he has been transformed into a native of that planet - an Iftin. Not only does he have the body but also mind and memories of one.

Judgement & Victory on Janus are his adventures.
Andre Norton wrote a darned good yarn with these two books but she also touched on other matters i.e. mans impact on his environment, how he interacts with other cultures. Andre Norton not only set out to entertain us younsters the first time these were printed but also to educate us. It is a measure of her talent that she succeeded in both.
Format:Paperback
A little known gem of fantasy literature. If you enjoy Tolkien, C S Lewis etc then this is probably for you. Imaginative but not really like any other book.
Format:Paperback
First read this many years ago. I recently acquired a new copy and found it as good a read as I remembered. A good book for any reader of the fantasy genre.
