The thousands who work there, human and alien both, have a single mission: To care for all patients, of all species. At Sector General, anything can happen-and frequently does. <p/>James White's tales of Sector General are lively, humorous, and humane, at times shot through with a healer's anger at violence and destruction. These are endlessly inventive dramas of civility and spirituality, tempered with White's gently wicked wit and his keen eye for the remarkable in the everyday. <p/>Now, in a single omnibus, the second three volumes of the series-Ambulance Ship, Sector General, <i>and </i>Star Healer-return to print in complete and corrected editions, including a sequence (Spacebird) omitted from previous American editions of <i>Ambulance Ship</i>. The volume is introduced by Hugo-winning SF writer and critic David Langford.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"A remarkable achievement...The argument developed in the series has lost none of its force." --<i>Brian Stableford</i> <p/>"Neat, humorous, and humane." --<i>The Ultimate Guide to SF on the Sector General series</i> <p/>"Dry wit and a glimpse into alien psychology . . .
