The first man to come into contact with the microbes hears voices—and then dies. After determining the meteorite originated from Europa, the Global Exploratory Corporation sends oceanographer and biologist, Kathy Connelly, and her crew to the moon aboard the Surveyo ...

A thrilling intergalactic adventure, Star Surgeon follows the journey of Dal Timgar as he strives to achieve his lifelong goal of becoming a physician. Published in 1959, the novel explores themes of discrimination, prejudice, and racial oppression, while also presenting key elements of science fiction including interplanetary travel, intergalactic medicine, aliens, and advanced technology. The thrilling tale begins with the introduction of Dal Timgar, a young alien from Garv, who has aspired to become a doctor for as long as he can remember. However, his aspirations seem far-fetched, as the only race to have been properly trained and acclaimed in the field of medicine are the men from the planet Earth, who make up the sole team of doctors serving in the Galactic Federation. Incidentally, the Galactic Federation has an established set of guidelines in which each of its members offer a particular service or practice a certain profession restricted to their race alone. Keeping his eyes on the prize, Dal is later accepted into Hospital Earth and is excited to be one step closer to turning his dream into a reality. Even more remarkable is the fact that he is the first non-human to receive medical training. However, not everyone is thrilled by Dal’s laudable desire to become a physician, as he is viewed as a threat to Earth becoming a full member of the Galactic Federation. Experiencing many inconveniences and discouragement at numerous occasions, Dal nevertheless brushes aside the negativity and manages to get through his training. Despite his efforts, Dal soon realizes that his troubles have just begun, as he must face countless obstacles, trials, and setbacks in his mission to become a full-fledged star surgeon. Comprised of a gripping plot, memorable characters, and an exciting setting, Star Surgeon is sure to engage any fan of the science fiction genre, as Nourse successfully interweaves variety, description, and detail to create a captivating piece that is out of this world.
