Guess the Movie from a description of the Book

[Tach Deneva]

After Terra is destroyed in an interplanetary war, a mustered out Galactic Commando (and Native American, specifically, Navajo) relocates to a mostly agricultural planet, where he signs on as a ranch hand, herding big blue critters that are that planet's equivalent of buffalo. Accompanying him are his team of psi-sensitive, genetically-enhanced animals: a dune cat, an African eagle, and a pair of meerkats. He soon adds another member to the team: a gray-spotted Appaloosa.

But finding a new home is not the only thing on his mind. Shortly after his arrival, he makes the acquaintance of the son of the man he has come to this planet to kill...

What movie was made from this?

Dunno...but the book sounds terrible. Who gets that sort of junk Published? I mean really...I need to write a novel this summer because if that guy got published anybody could. I'll see if I can think of what the movie may be.

it sorta sounds like beast master. its the only thing that comes to mind with the animal discriptions.

[RevRaz]

Sounds like an episode of Futurama.

[KODIAK]

Sounds like. . . . . . . . a book I probably would regret buying and would rather throw in the bin!! :lol: :roll:

It is Beast Master, but the movie is not at all like the book, very few similarities.

You would watch the movie just to see Tanya Roberts though... ;)

Oh god, Beast Master?? LOL!! I remember watching that B movie tons of times on cable tv when I was like 12 years old. The only good part of the movie was Rip Torn who played such a great villain.

As for Marc Singer..Yeech! The guy can barely act.

It's an excellent book, written by Andre Norton and first published in 1959. I challenge you to read it, and THEN dog it - if you still want to.

Here's a very spoilery review:
