| Summary | "Traders Risk" by Roger D. Aycock is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The story explores themes of interstellar trade, unintended consequences of exploration, and the conflicts that arise when different civilizations meet. It juxtaposes the lives of extraterrestrial beings with those of humans in a richly imagined universe. The plot centers around a Ciriimian ship transporting a dangerous creature known as the Zid, which escapes and creates chaos onboard. The crew, composed of the Chafis, must make a harrowing decision to jettison the creature on an apparently uninhabited planet, only to discover it is home to intelligent life. The narrative follows Jeff Aubray, an Earth Interests agent, who grapples with his mission to exploit the planet's resources while trying to protect its inhabitants. The story culminates in a tense climax when Aubray and a local woman, Jennifer, must confront the Zid and navigate the consequences of their actions, ultimately leading to a moral choice about trade and autonomy in a larger galactic context.
