Every time a new planet is discovered, the highest bidder gets first dibs with exclusive property rights for a year.

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” (
