Star Hunter/Voodoo Planet

Edición de la obra Star Hunter & Voodoo Planet

This is two completely unrelated short stories in the same cover. This review will focus only on the “Voodoo Planet” portion of the book. Part of the crew of the “Solar Queen” explore more exciting prospects other than the short mail run they’ve been consigned to since reaching an agreement with a “Combine”, one of many mega-companies who seldom competed with small-time free traders. The ship’s doctor, or “medico” as often referenced in Norton’s many books, “Tau” had gained a reputation as a collector of “Magic”. When their cargo from incoming trade ship is delayed, the waylaid skeleton crew of the Queen is offered the opportunity to escape the sauna-like planet they are currently marooned on to visit her exotic sister planet, “Khatka”. Dane Thorson and Medic Tau team up in a quest for survival in the wilds of the Voodoo planet as they try to make it back to some form of civilization against the wishes of a Voodoo Priest who is bent on a competition to the death with Medic Tau and for the control of the entire planet.
