Its 384 levels and thousands of staff members are supposedly able to meet the needs of any conceivable alien patient--though that capacity is always being strained as more (and stranger) alien races turn up to join the galactic community. Sentient viruses, interspecies romances, undreamed-of institutional catering problems--it all lands on Sector General's doorstep. And the only thing weirder than a hitherto unknown alien species is having a member of that species turn up in your Emergency Room. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe first of two omnibus volumes reprints the works that began the Sector General series, which were previously published as \u003ci\u003eHospital Station \u003c\/i\u003e(1962), \u003ci\u003eStar Surgeon\u003c\/i\u003e (1963), and \u003ci\u003eMajor Operation\u003c\/i\u003e (1971).\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJames White\u003c\/b\u003e lived in Northern Ireland.
