The great Gurronsevas is universally acclaimed as the galaxy’s greatest chef. But now, at the height of his career, Gurronsevas finds that fame, honour and a staff of minions isn’t enough. He wants a new challenge.
So he comes to Sector General, the massive hospital in space when human and alien medicine meet. There, as Chief Dietician, Gurronsevas tries to do what has never been achieved before: make hospital food palatable. But are the staff – of any species – ready for these culinary delights…?
‘The tales in the Sector General series are consistently entertaining, combining the best features of First Contact SF with the human interest of hospital stories’ Locus
