Voodoo Planet by Andre Norton
Just finished reading "Voodoo Planet" by Andre Norton, published by ACE Books back in 1959.
For those who came in late, several years ago I began what I call my "Great Re-Reading of Favorite Books from My Youth," and "Voodoo Planet" falls into this project. I first discovered "Voodoo Planet" on the shelves in the science fiction section of Michelle's Bookstore in Jacksonville, North Carolina in the late 1960s, and I got my reading copy at Chamblin's Book Mine - the best bookstore on the East Coast here in Jacksonville, Florida.
Assistant Cargo Master Dane Thorson is working Xecho getting the Solar Queen ready for it's next cargo run, when Captain Jellico receives an unexpected visit from an old friend, a ranger from Khatka, who is seeking help in dealing with mental wizard who is amassing an army of followers. He is also seeking Tau's help since the medic is also an expert of magic. Dane is also invited along and what follows is a life and death race across the vast game reserves of Khatka.
Andre Norton originally wrote "Voodoo Planet" especially for publication as part of ACE Double Books, which featured two short novels back in 1959. A decade would pass before she returned to the adventures of the crew of the Solar Queen.
CLASSIC ANDRE NORTON!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
TEN STARS!
