By Poul Anderson Cover by Ed Valigursky - The crew of the second expedition to Lagrange's Planet was a dangerously unstable one, for their exploration ship was extremely unpopular. There had been outcries against it, sabotage attempts, and the government frowned on it. - Yet---the teeming population of Earth needed a new planet to colonize. Habitable worlds were so few and far between-and so often claimed by inhospitable aliens. Why the antagonism? Why the lack of suitable volunteers, when their destination might provide the long-sought solution?
