〈Science Fiction Read in English_ Contamination Crew by Alan Edward Nourse 〉
This book is a short science fiction novel by Alan E. Nourse published in “Worlds of Science Fiction” in 1958.
Alan Edward Nourse was an American science fiction writer and physician. He has written young adult and adult science fiction as well as nonfiction works about medicine and science. His science fiction work sometimes focused on medicine or psionics. His most famous pen name was Doctor X.
The plot centers around a team of experts known as the "pollution crew". Their mission is to investigate and clean up incidents related to biological or environmental contamination on remote planets. The crew consists of scientists, doctors and technicians trained to handle hazardous materials and prevent the spread of dangerous pathogens.
As the story unfolds, the contaminated crew is dispatched to a distant planet where a deadly outbreak has occurred.
Summary
Orders were orders! The creature had to be killed.
But just how does one destroy the indestructible?
These charges will undoubtedly be preferred by one Turvold Neelsen, Physician Grade II of the Black Service, and Commander of the Mercy on its current survey mission into the Vorochislov Sector. Exactly what the charges will be I cannot say, since the Black Doctor in question refuses either audience or communication with me at the present time; however, it seems likely that treason, incompetence and mutinous insubordination will be among the milder complaints registered. It is possible that even Malpractice might be added, so you can readily understand the reasons for this statement?
