by JamesWhite (Author)
James White's novels and stories of Sector General, the vast outer-space hospital that treats humans and aliens alike, have entertained generations of SF fans. Replete with human and alien interaction and intricate puzzle plots, the Sector General tales are ingenious and exciting, and shot through with a healer's anger at irrationality and destructiveness. They are dramas of rationality, tempered with humour and a keen eye for the remarkable in the everyday. This omnibus includes the titles Hospital Station, Star Surgeon and Major Operation, along with a new introduction by Brian Stableford.

Sector General is one of the few places in SF that one would really, really like to exist. --David Langford
Over the years White has built a large and enthusiastic audience for his Sector General series, which concerns a fully realized interspecies hospital on the rim of the Galaxy. His fascinating cast of characters and his belief in the basic decency of all intelligent life-forms have seen him through six Sector General books over the past quarter century. --James Gunn, The New Encyclopedia of Science Fiction
Neat, humorous, and humane. --The Ultimate Guide to SF
