Norton wrote one sequel published in 1962 and three by Andre Norton and Lyn McConchie of New Zealand were published forty years later, one of them after Norton's death in 2005. According to McConchie, they were "written solely by Lyn from a brief collaborated outline". The first two latterday sequels were named the year's best novel by New Zealand science fiction fans (Sir Julius Vogel Award).
