Think Babylon 5, except it's a hospital -- humans and aliens coming together to treat the sick and the hurt in their sector of space. And the aliens show a lot more variation than in the Star Trek universe, which a couple of other people have mentioned. The first couple of books are collections of short stories about Sector General, but some of the later ones are proper novels. The original short stories were first published in magazines. Now, does anyone know where I can get a copy of White's _Underkill_ in the US, or am I going to have to order from amazon.co.uk? (There are a couple of other books I want to order from the UK at some point, might just add that to the list) amazon.com didn't list it at all when I was on a James White hunt there.

Plotlines usually revolve about first contact with a race strange enough or sick enough that help is needed before they can be understood. I always thought that the Sector General stories could have been inserted into the Star Trek universe without any problem. Oh, definitely. I would go so far as to describe them as a cross between ER and Star Trek. They're similar in writing-style to Murray Leinster's Med Ship series, if I recall correctly. Most of James' White's SG work is short stories, which would probably lend themselves nicely to a screenplay format. Some of the stories are told from an alien's point of view as well. Worth a look if you like '50's and '60's era sci-fi. Jon Le Blog: http://zarq.livejournal.com _ Is your computer infected with a virus? Find out with a FREE computer virus scan from McAfee.
