A short work by Norton discussing the nature of belief and its ability to both empower and weaken the believer.
Norton uses the images and stereotypes of Afro-Hatiian Voudoun to drive the story, which pits an evil native spiritual leader against one of the series intrepid heroes in a battle to secure the future of a planet settled by African diaspora generations ago.
As usualy, the action is well paced and the environment keenly described, making for a story that one can enjoy even though it is weakened by the misunderstandings of Voudoun typical of mid-century American writers.
Not the best by Norton, but a worthy read for fans.
