At least that was the theory American scientists were exploring in an effort to explain the new sources of knowledge the Russians possessed. If it is possible to conquer space, then perhaps it is also possible to conquer time.
But the one station able to do this is on Earth, at Patrol headquarters, which ordered The Solar Queen‘s destruction! With every ship in the galaxy searching for them, the crew has one chance to save The Solar Queen: broadcast their plight throughout the galaxy. The apprentices discover alien beings aboard the Queen, and realize the illness may be connected to the aliens. When a mysterious soon overtakes all the crew except the four youngest, the Galactic Patrol labels the Queen plagued and orders it to be destroyed on sight. Sargol promises a wealth of exquisite gems to trade if the crew can overcome the natives’ mistrust. In Plague Ship, the Queen travels to Sargol, homeworld to a race of sentient felines, the Salariki. The traders must solve the mysteries of Limbo if they hope to escape the planet, let alone come away with some saleable goods.
The traders find a secret valley with life, but others may still lurk in rocky caves below. Worse yet, a strange pulse emanating from the planet itself may keep the Queen from lifting off. The crew arrives to find the planet’s surface charred, signs of life sparse. In Sargasso of Space, the free traders of The Solar Queen win exclusive rights to all tradable goods discovered on the planet Limbo. Here are the first two star spanning tales of Dane Thorson and The Solar Queen.
