Enigma, by Gerald Kilby

This is the fourth book in The Belt series, preceded by Evolution.

In chapter 4, "she could feel the infinitesimal current it radiated". Hm, a current might cause an electromagnetic field to be radiated, but you can hardly radiate a current…

Later on we learn that "Dr Rayman had strictly forbade it". I think "forbidden" is the word for that sentence.

Still in chapter 4, the character gets asked "what the hell are you play at?"

Moving on to chapter 5, "lets get going" could do with an apostrophe.

Once we get to chapter 13, we hear about a "quantum phenomena". Ugh - "phenomenon", please.

Chapter 22 seems to have acquired the apostrophe missing from chapter 5, in "first thing's first".

Chapter 23 omits words instead: "Like I said, it's long story."

In chapter 26, "She expected to see the cockpit of the ship, but instead she was looking at… a celling."

Later in the same chapter, "How could her mother say this to her, after all the she had already hidden from her?" I can't tell whether there's a word missing from that sentence, or an extra one.

In chapter 27, "they decamped to an antiroom…". Hm, does that mean they were in a corridor, or outdoors, or should it have been an anteroom?
