The Adventures of Terra Tarkington

The heroine, Terra Tarkington, is a newly graduated nurse. Unwittingly, she is manipulated by opposing secret organisations, resulting in her first assignment being at the far end of the galaxy. There she has to cope with outrageous alien patients and medical staff, with only the company of 1 other human, an attractive young doctor.The book is written as a collection of letters from Terra to others. I found its humour appealing, making it a very easy read - quite different from the other Sharon Webb book I read years ago.
