From the publisher

Contamination Crew is a tense classic science fiction story of disease, isolation, and danger beyond Earth by Alan E. Nourse, a writer whose medical background gave his speculative fiction unusual authority. In the closed and fragile environment of space, contamination is not a minor hazard. A single infection, unknown organism, or biological mistake can threaten a mission, a crew, and perhaps far more than anyone first understands.

Nourse brings together two of the strongest engines of mid-century science fiction: the excitement of space exploration and the fear that human beings may carry, encounter, or unleash dangers they cannot easily control. The result is a compact, fast-moving story about scientific responsibility, survival, quarantine, and the pressure placed on specialists when the wrong decision could become catastrophic.

Readers who enjoy classic science fiction, medical suspense, space adventure, biological danger, and vintage magazine SF will find Contamination Crew a sharp example of Nourse's strengths. His fiction often asks what happens when scientific knowledge meets human fear, institutional pressure, and urgent practical decisions-the exact territory where science fiction becomes more than speculation and turns into crisis.
