Summary: "Plague Ship" by Andre Norton is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The story follows Dane Thorson, a cargo-master-apprentice aboard the spaceship Solar Queen, as he traverses the mysterious planet Sargol alongside his crew. The narrative explores themes of trade, cultural adaptation, and the dynamics between the alien Salariki and the Terran crew. The opening of the book sets the stage for Dane's first experience on Sargol, emphasizing the uniqueness of their trading customs, such as the pungent perfumes that the crew must wear to avoid offending the natives. As they prepare to engage with the Salariki and navigate potential pitfalls—especially after the death of another trader—the tension builds around the challenges of establishing trade while dealing with interstellar rivalries, particularly from the Inter-Solar Company. This blend of intrigue, alien culture, and the protagonist's internal conflicts creates a rich foundation for the adventure that lies ahead, making the beginning a compelling introduction to the story.
