Summary: This one goes back to Borders
Comment: This book seems terribly-babyish and boring, as if it is intended for a 10yr old to read.
The worst Sci-Fi I've ever read.
Rating: 4
Summary: Reprinted Stories
Comment: Med Ship is a collection of stories written by Murray Leinster between 1957 and 1966. They are the continuing adventures of Calhoun, a physician with the Interstellar Medical Service. He travels the galaxy in his own small spaceship with his pet and companion, Murgatroyd, visiting planets to try to solve public health issues. Each story is self-contained, and tells of Calhoun's adventures on a new planet that has a health crisis. Murgatroyd is utterly charming, and steals every scene he appears in. I was a little bit disappointed by the stories, because they were not what I was expecting. I thought that they would be stories of Calhoun trying to find solutions to health problems, but more often they are stories of Calhoun trying to defeat ruthless, greedy people who are using the health crises for their own advantage. I was also a bit put off by the tendency for every epidemic to be called "the plague." Overall, though, they are an enjoyable collection of stories about trying to stamp out ignorance and restore good health and prosperity to the peoples of the galaxy.

Summary: MED SHIP
Comment: I loved Med Ship I passed it on rather than turn it in to the used book store. Each story is complete within itself but complemented the other stories.
P.S. It is a book of short stories and novellettes.
