While practising deep space medicine, the staff at Sector General has seen more than its fair share of challenges – from plagues caused by cafeteria food to a range of diverse ethical codes. The medics are a tough bunch – but now they face an unsettling new development: the terrifying Chief Psychologist, Dr O’Mara, has been promoted to the Head of the hospital.
But even worse – this is a temporary promotion, for just as long as it takes to train his replacement. After that, he’s up for mandatory retirement. Terrifying he may be, but no one at Sector General can imagine what they will do without him – assuming they’ll last long enough to find out.

Marvellously entertaining
Neat, humorous, and humane
A first-class medical puzzle and its absorbing solution, with always a twinkle in the author's eye. Thoroughly enjoyable
Wonderful... suspenseful, imaginative and humanistic with a wry humour. Highly recommended
Marvellously entertaining, and the clever medical mystery that underlies everything is nicely done as well. One of the best entries in this popular and inventive series
Over the years White has built a large and enthusiastic audience for his Sector General series, which concerns a fully realized interspecies hospital on the rim of the Galaxy.

Sector General is one of the few places in SF that one would really, really like to exist
Neat, humorous, and humane
White's finest performance!
