Plague Ship

Dane Thorson/Solar Queen 2

De: Andre Norton

Narrado por: Arthur Vincet

The ship (Solar Queen) has recently obtained a valuable trading contract on the planet Sargol and is building a relationship with one of the races on the planet, the cat-like Salariki. The process goes slowly till the Salariki discover that the Solar Queen is carrying catnip and other plants from Terra that are unknown on Sargol. The traders exchange what little of the plants they have for the rare and valuable Koros stones and collect a native red-colored wood to exchange at home.

At the last minute the storm priests of the Salariki demand that the Solar Queen take a pre-paid contract to return within 6 months with more plants. A few days after leaving the planet, several members of the crew suffer from attacks, which start with severe headaches and end in a semi-coma state. Upon exiting hyperspace, the crew discovers that they are pariah and have been declared a plague ship... This is the second installment in Norton's "Dane Thorson/Solar Queen" series.©2017 Audioliterature (P)2017 Audioliterature

Delivers the fun adventure

Delivers the fun adventure. Escapist 50s/60s space adventure.

At first I didn’t like the performance, but after 15-20 minutes it sank in.

A typically good read by an excellent storyteller.

Andre Norton is one of the best storytellers of sci-fi and fantasy. the Solar Queen stories are some of her fun sci-fi stories with engaging characters and well written situations

Easy to listen

just about listened to it all the way through. if it wasn't for work I would've. it really hooked me from the beginning, and was almost physically painful to pause. loved it!
