Masters of Everon

Jef has been raised with an animal from Everon, a planet that has been newly settled. The animal has not grown as they are known to on their home world, so he is taking it home see if it grows or what, on his native world. It is a scarey beast as far as most folks from the world are concerned, but with Jef, it is docile and obiedant. When he gets to the planet he starts off with the authorities wanting to quarantee or kill it. He is assisted by some fellow he met on the ride out, so at least he and his pet get to stay together. Jef gets into trouble, gets to know the people and societies of the planet. There is some psychic connection between Jef and his pet that grows stronger as his pet grows as well. In the end the connection has grown so strong, Jef is able to see from the eyes of others not his pet. The delimna that it turns out Jef is to solve was presented by the animals of the planet and is a trial, of sorts, of the human race.
