Sjambak

rated 6/10: read to pass the time
science fiction from the pulp age. And definitely pulp.
A planet with a mystery. A yankee reporter who investigates the mystery. Discovers that it is ridiculously prosaic so he goes home.
Even set in the wild west this would be weak.
An easy-read filler from the days when science fiction held a well deserved position outside mainstream literature.
