Voodoo Planet (Solar Queen, #3) | 
so-so(1959) Third in Norton's series about the merchant spaceship Solar Queen, this is a novella-length adventure set on a planet colonized by Black refugees of an African race war. Yes, it's awkward: on the positive side there is little overt racism; but at the end of the day, Khatka is a safari planet, the villain is a “witch doctor“ and the white hunters prevail thanks to science. Not as bad as it might have been, but from 2025 it's just a bad idea
