In Sargasso of Space, the Solar Queen free traders win exclusive rights to trade with the planet Limbo, but the crew arrives to find most of the planet?s surface charred, with little signs of life. They find a valley with life, but others may still lurk. Worse yet, a strange force threatens to cripple the Queen. They must solve the planet?s mysteries if they hope to escape not only with tradable goods, but their lives."--goodreads. PLEASE VIEW OUR STORE FOR MORE GREAT BOOKS THANKS!
