The love song of Lancelot Biggs

Name: The love song of Lancelot Biggs
Author: Nelson S. Bond

A shipboard narrator recounts a comic spacefaring episode in which an aging freighter is hurriedly loaded with mysterious leaden crates and diverted to Iapetus. Crew tensions, a newly married officer, and corporate rivalry drive a race to deliver a valuable shipment to a newly opened mining outpost whose cavernous interior promises colonization. The cargo turns out to be seeds intended for the settlers but not of the ordinary food variety, and their unexpected properties produce a series of complications that blend romantic misunderstandings, commercial scheming, and humorous chaos aboard the ship.
