Notes: Norton is among a handful of authors of whom I've meant to read more, so I turn to this sci-fi novel originally published in 1956.
Mini review: This was just a fun little novel. A group of space traders get to work trading on an alien planet, but when they return to space they discover an illness is hitting the crew. Then they become outlaws wanted by the equivalent of the space police. And they have to go to Earth to not only avoid the law, but to find a way to take care of this illness. There's a touch of silliness to the whole tale, but not overly so. I have to say I enjoyed it and look forward to reading more such tales as Norton apparently penned other novels about this starship crew.
