Stories

• "Contagion" – An ancient generation ship is found whose last occupants died only months before. The rescue ship and ambulance crews come down with a mysterious illness.
• "Quarantine" – The sole survivor from a spacewreck is brought back to the hospital, and stuns everyone by downing half the surgical team.
• "Recovery" – A ship is found with absolutely no visible markings. A torture corridor inside beats on whatever passes, including a violent non-sentient and a telepathic sentient who communicates with the ambulance staff about the Blind Ones' need.

The 1980 Corgi edition has "Spacebird" as the first story.
