Praise for Andre Norton and the Solar Queen Series "Nobody can top Andre Norton when it comes to swashbuckling science-fiction adventure." -- St. Louis Globe-Democrat "There have been few new Solar Queen adventures in recent years, and the field is the poorer for the lack of them. Anyone who wants to understand what 'sense of wonder' was all about should read this book." -- The Orlando Sentinel "One of the most distinguished living SF and fantasy writers." - Booklist "Could there be any greater pleasure for a science-fiction fan that re-reading the genre's classics? If you cut your teeth on space adventures, reading this book will carry you back to that time in its first few pages. If not. . . welcome aboard, shipmate. This is what it's all about." -- Rapport "One of the most popular authors of our time." - Publishers Weekly, Praise for Andre Norton and the Solar Queen Series "Nobody can top Andre Norton when it comes to swashbuckling science-fiction adventure." --St. Louis Globe-Democrat "There have been few new Solar Queen adventures in recent years, and the field is the poorer for the lack of them.

Synopsis
The first two novels in the "Solar Queen" series, "Sargasso of Space "and "Plague Ship," now in a trade paperback omnibus. A small team of Free Traders travel to distant worlds seeking to establish profitable trade with the native races. The team encounters hostile conditions on each planet and must uncover the mystery behind a scorched planet that draws in ships and their helpless crews, and then the mystery behind a conspiracy to destroy the" Solar Queen" and crew on sight., Adventure in Space In 1955, Norton introduced Dane Thorson, an apprentice cargo-master who signed on with the independent cargo ship Solar Queen looking for a career in off-world trade. Here are the first two star-spanning tales of Dane Thorson and the Solar Queen. In Sargasso of Space , the free-traders of the Solar Queen win exclusive rights to all tradable goods discovered on the planet Limbo. The crew arrives to find the planet's surface charred, signs of life sparse. Worse yet, a strange pulse emanating from the planet itself may keep the Queen from lifting off. The traders find a secret valley with life, but others may still lurk in rocky caves below. The traders must solve the mysteries of Limbo if they hope to escape the planet, let alone come away with some saleable goods. In Plague Ship , the Queen travels to Sargol, homeworld to a race of sentient felines, the Salariki. Sargol promises a wealth of exquisite gems to trade-if the crew can overcome the natives' mistrust. But their troubles have only just begun. When a mysterious soon overtakes all the crew except the four youngest, the Galactic Patrol labels the Queen plagued and orders it to be destroyed on sight. The apprentices discover alien beings aboard the Queen , and realize the illness may be connected to the aliens. With every ship in the galaxy searching for them, the crew has one chance to save the Solar Queen : broadcast their plight throughout the galaxy. But the one station able to do this is on Earth, at Patrol headquarters, which ordered the Solar Queen 's destruction!
