The crew of the starship Ganymede were afraid their chief was losing his mind.

Now as the ship grounded on unfamiliar terrain, the crew realized that the routine flight to Vega had been interrupted - and their worst fears were true . . . They had landed on Wolf IV - the one planet from which no man had ever show more returned alive. show lessTags

I read this 1957 book because it was the book of the month in a Classic SF book club I belong to. It started well, with a tone reminding me of the Heinlein juveniles. I thought the second half was weaker, with some plot holes, characters who abandoned deep-set beliefs too easily and not much worldbuilding. At least in the end we got a coherent explanation for the weird things that had happened. The novel is quite short and all in all it was not a bad read, but not exceptional either.
