Earth is colonizing worlds, but there are intelligent bugs who want to glean everything off of those worlds and have no hesitation in killing men to do it. A young man and his pet wolverines are the only two survivors of such a raid and must keep scrambling to keep from joining their dead - up until the time when he decides to carry the fight to the bugs. Like most all of Andre Norton's books, a very good read.
