Tales of Sector General

Ever since James White's HOSPITAL STATION was published in 1962, the Sector General series has been a hit with readers, who love its compassion for all life-forms, its easy humor and—as THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF SCIENCE FICTION puts it—"White's unflagging capacity to conceive and make plausible a wide range of alien anatomies." Now TALES OF SECTOR GENERAL collects the three most recent novels, a medi-kit of treats for the fan of future medicine.

THE GALACTIC GOURMET: The great chef Gurronsevas, a six-legged alien of considerable mass and dignity, has joined Sector General a Chief Dietician. Hospital food may never be the same.

FINAL DIAGNOSIS: The staff always too it on faith that infections can't pass from one alien species to another. But it's beginning to look like they may have a genuine interspecies virus on their hands. . . their tentacles. . . their cilia. . . .

MIND CHANGER: During his years as chief psychologist, he left his figurative toothmarks on most of the senior residents. Now Dr. O'Mara is facing mandatory retirement. . . and the implications are terrifying.
