This World is Taboo by Murray Leinster ~ Full Audiobook [scifi]

This World is Taboo by Murray Leinster audiobook.

Genre: scifi

Calhoun, a field man for the Interstellar Medical Service, expects routine inspections: land, check public health conditions, and leave a world safer than he found it. But when his small Med Ship reaches Weald Three, he finds a prosperous grain planet locked in fear. Nearby Dara, once ravaged by a plague, is under strict quarantine, and its people carry the visible legacy of that sickness - the hated 'blueskins.' On Weald, politicians and security forces treat any contact with Dara as contamination, and paranoia is turning into something far more dangerous. Calhoun, accompanied by his sharp-eyed tormal companion Murgatroyd, quickly realizes that the health problem is inseparable from prejudice, trade, and the threat of interplanetary violence. To do his job, he may have to break the very quarantine everyone insists will keep them safe, and step onto the world that has been declared untouchable. Part medical mystery, part political thriller, Leinster's classic space adventure digs into how fear spreads faster than disease, and how one stubborn professional can challenge a system built on scapegoats.
