Star Hunter, or one of the others that's not in the middle of a series: www.andre-norton.org/books/serie.html

Storm over Warlock. Or Star Born. But I reread Warlock several times, so it gets my vote. The others were a read-once mostly.

Time Traders! Entertaining Cold War time travel book I read when I was eight and still like! (The Defiant Agents is a sequel to it.)

Not Plague Ship, which is the only one I've read within recent memory. A bit too slow-paced.
