Given the impressive and rapid response to my previous two posts, here is another request:
As a child, I remember reading a book of short stories from the library, sometime in the 70s. I remember that all the stories were a cut above the average, but one of them was more memorable than the otehrs. Unfortunately, 40+ years later, my memories of it have become very vague, but I remember one snippet fairly well:
A biological weapon has unfortunately started attacking the people who created it aboard a spaceship. People are suddenly disintegrating into pools of yellow liquid (that drips down through the grilles in the deck), and one man who is apparently immune is rushing around the ship, encountering more of these pools, which were originally his crewmates. And he is becoming incresingly desperate and wondering why he is apparently the sole survivor.
I don't really remember the title, but maybe it was something like "secret xxxx", or similar.
Does this ring any bells. If I can find this story, maye I can also find the book that it was in, that contained other good stories.
