Hello to the community! First Post.
For Years now I've been trying to remember the titles/authors of three books that I read in the late 80's early 90's:
1. All I can remember of this one was a human (crash?) landing on an alien planet populated with catlike aliens. The story actually follows one of the aliens, an outcast prince I believe, with physical disabilities. The human actually acts as a supporting character, providing physical therapy and help for the main character who is seeking to take back his throne... There was an obsidian axe the human used in the battle scenes, and there were remarks (in disbelief) at the "impossibility" of the human's shoulder joint flexibility.
2. Hard Science Fiction. Dealt with a man (agent?) on the run. The only hard "facts" I remember are that he had nanotech in his body. The nanotech seemed to be sentient. He grew claws at one point to defend himself against an enemy agent, and there was a scene where the nanotech was talking to him and boosting his endorphin levels to increase his confidence as he tried to get through a security point...
3. Last one is probably impossible. All I can recall is a young adult paperback dealing with a group of people, one of them a earth boy, brought together on an alien planet, possibly as zoo specimens. Each individual had abilities that made them unique, but what I remember vividly is a tall black women that shape-shifted into a panther.
Any help on these would be greatly appreciated, they've been haunting me for years!
Thanks
