Book Description
"Sure, you can find cheap or free versions of classic science fiction novels on the Internet if you want to search like dog trying to dig out a groundhog, but this Absolutely Amazing eBooks volume makes it simple to own a paper version for less than the cost of lunch at Applebee's. Grab it and enjoy a splendid repast. You'll love the sci-fi tales of Andre Norton!" - Baron Rupert McCafferty, Seattle Book Journal This handy repackaging of the Solar Queen space opera novels by Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America grandmaster Andres Norton (A/K/A Andrew North) contains the first book in the series, Sargasso of Space. It recounts the adventures of Dane Thorson, a lanky young Cargomaster Apprentice on the Solar Queen, a battered tramp spaceship classified as a Free Trader. Reporting to Cargomaster Van Rycke, Dane is an enthusiastic, yet still awkward, space recruit out for the challenge of a lifetime as the crewmen bang about the universe like futuristic long-haul truckers -- giving no second thought to danger. With nearly two-dozen new illustrations.

Book Description
Stellar exploration—and depredation—in the exciting first novel in the Solar Queen series from a “superb storyteller” (The New York Times). In the future, venturing out into the stars is more than a way for humanity to chart the cosmos—it’s big business. Every time a new planet is discovered, the highest bidder gets first dibs with exclusive property rights for a year. Anything they can find, they can keep. The planet Limbo was considered a waste of rock to most, which is the only reason apprentice cargo master Dane Thorson and the rest of the crew of the Solar Queen could afford to bid on it. But they soon discover that Limbo is far from uninhabited, the Solar Queen is far from the first ship to explore it—and they can never leave . . . With her many beloved series, including the Solar Queen novels, Science Fiction Writers of America Grand Master Andre Norton remains “one of the most popular authors of our time” (Publishers Weekly). Sargasso of Space is the 1st book in the Solar Queen Series, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
