Plague Ship | 
This morning Casey wiggled around like a wild creature and I finished PLAGUE SHIP, which is one of the digital freebies I nabbed right after I got my first ereader and never read. It was my first Andre Norton and I found it interesting both as a story and as an early(ish) step along the road that is science fiction.
pick(1956) Second in the author's “Solar Queen“ series, which follows the adventures of an independent trading spaceship. In this one, the Queen's crew deal with claim jumpers and then, en route back home, with a mysterious illness that incapacitates most of the crew. The plot has them defying quarantine regulations in ways that sometimes made me cringe, but the adventure is solid and the pace steady.
