Ayron IV is a science fiction novel for young adults by Ray Thompson, published in 1975.[1]
Background

Plot summary
Ayron IV is introduced as a strange planet located in a series of off-Earth human civilizations, which are capable of supporting human life and seem uninhabited. Rigg Rowning and his friends Kris and Piet find unusual tracks on the surface of the planet which were not made by any type of vehicle that they had brought.[2]
Reception
