Postmarked the Stars is a science fiction novel by American writer Andre Norton, first published in the United States in 1969 by Harcourt, Brace & World.

For the nonce, until they can solve the mystery of the dead man and the radiation source, they put the brachs and the lathsmers into Solar Queen's lifeboat and Dane, astrogator Rip Shannon and engineer Ali Kamil land it on Trewsworld away from the starport to wait.

Returning to the lifeboat, the two men find Medic Tau waiting there with Ranger Wim Meshler, who tells them that the crew have all been arrested on a long list of charges, including the murder of the dead man they found.

The men and the brach steal a flitter and escape, flying it to Cartl's holding, a large farmstead where they can call the authorities in Trewsport.

The rescue flitter brings a team of Stellar Patrolmen, Trewsport Police, and the rest of Solar Queen's crew and they defeat the crooks.
