Ace Double D-479 (1960): Earthman Go Home! by Poul Anderson, bound with To the Tombaugh Station by Wilson Tucker. This is the first American paperback appearance for either book.

Earthman Go Home! by Poul Anderson - cover by Ed Emshwiller, 110 pages. Serialized as "A Plague of Masters" in Fantastic in 1960, and reverted to that title when revised & included in Flandry of Terra (yep- it's part of that series.)

The planet Unan Besar was hospitable to man, except for a particular strain of bacteria which was everywhere. Unless you got your antitoxin pill from Biocontrol, you would die painfully in 30 days.

But Flandry lives for intrigue, and the profits to be made that way…


(bound with) To the Tombaugh Station by Wilson Tucker - cover by Ed Valigursky, 145 pages. This is expanded from an appearance in Magazine of F&SF in July 1960.

Webb is tough as nails, and then there's the little problem of the sensor ghost and whether or not they should try to rescue a derelict ship…
