Author: Andre Norton / Genre:Paranormal

A Free Trader rocket ship heads for the remote planet, Sargol, which is blessed with immense natural wealth
 and precious gemstones. The ship is manned by the heroic Dane Thorson and his crew of intrepid space traders
. On Sargol, they enter into complicated negotiations with the inhabitants of this strange planet. These feline
people, the Salariki, are reluctant to enter into a business partnership with the free traders till they discover
that the ship carries a small amount of catnip on board which they'd obtained from another trading post.
Completely overwhelmed, the Salariki agree to exchange the catnip for a valuable load of precious stones.

Relieved and delighted, Dane Thorson and his crew begin their return journey. Suddenly, the crew begins to
succumb to mysterious headaches and soon become semi-comatose. Just four young crew members and
Dane himself seem to be immune. When the ship enters the vicinity of their own planet, Dane discovers to
his horror that their spacecraft has been declared a “plague ship.” Can Dane and his young crew save the
 mission and their fellow crew members?
