Voodoo Planet

I always enjoy Andre Norton. She's a good storyteller. The Solar Queen series is pure Andre Norton, especially in the early years. It is An independent trading spaceship with a steady crew you get to know better with each offering.

Voodoo Planet is plagued with a shaman-type character that is scaring away the tourists and authorities to carry out poaching and various other illegal activities.

If you're looking for a quick, easy read, Voodoo Planet is a perfect choice. The story is supported by the familiar backdrop of mundane sci-fi, providing a comfortable and reassuring reading experience.
