Voodoo Planet

The traders of the starship Solar Queen touch down on Khatka, a jungle world run as an exclusive safari resort where big-game hunts draw wealthy visitors from across the galaxy. What looks like an easy stopover turns deadly when the crew is pulled into a feud between two rival witch doctors whose powers prove to be more than superstition. Stranded in the bush after their flitter goes down, Dane Thorson and his shipmates are hunted by a vengeful magic-wielder bent on breaking their nerve. Andre Norton blends space adventure with jungle survival in this short Solar Queen tale, where wits matter as much as weapons. Available here as a free PDF and EPUB edition.
