Simply too cool
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I've been a raving fan of the Sector General books for many, many years. These novels by James White are so full of fun ideas and quirky plots that I'm sure anyone will be tempted to read them more than once. The human protagonists are likeable and you can't help but enjoy the many different kinds of aliens that are the staff and patients of this incredible hospital.White's stile is light and entertaining. These books run the gamut from xeno-medical problems that are utterly weird and wonderful to much more introspective and thought-provoking explorations of the psychologies of other alien species and societies. This is the kind of story that Star Trek should have been, and the Monitor Corps is a better version of Star Fleet with cool aliens of all sorts. Seriously, how many stories will include aliens that run the gamut from radiation-eaters to telepathic dragonflies to the elephantine Tralthans to the insectile Melfans to chlorine-breathers and gigantic armored sentient fish and many others... the list could go on for pages. Truly worth exploring.
