When you try to take a story with you the entire day, you know it's got your interest. Earth of the future has become the pill pushers of the galaxy. Need medical help? If you have a contract, then Earth will send you a medical cruiser to help out. Dal is the first non-Terran to attempt to join the medical corp, and other Terrans don't want this. This is a story of how he overcomes this prejudiced while learning and having adventures as a star surgeon. The recordings might be older but they sound great, and the reader did a very nice job. Thanks!
Engaging, inventive sci-fi story.

Unusual in sci-fi, this story isn't dated in the slightest. Creative premise, simple but fleshy characters- a very good story. The narrator does a good job here, and gives the main characters different voices or accents. It's actually well done. I usually find vocal characterizations annoying and garbling. Not much to complain of here.
Great story... Great reading

This was a unique and fun story. Some parts were a bit predictable, but others were a complete surprise. The reading was outstanding. Each character had a unique "voice" that remained constant throughout the story. Thank you!
Excellent reading and story

Suitable children's story. A bit slow in spots for my 6 year old, but toward the end my wife and son forbid me to listen to the story without them. Quite enjoyable.
Liked the storyline

Definitely a good, medium sized read. Well read..the reader asigned his voice variation adeptely to the different characters. The storyline isn't what one might expect and turns out to be quite enjoyable.

Dal Timgar's tests of tolerance and medical skills make for as engaging a story now as it did thirty years ago. Mr. Farquhar's narration favorably colored the work.

I'm a consultant who lives on the road. Most books are made by the narrator. Easy to listen to. Thanks to the author and narrator!
