This book is incredibly well written. A military jet might appear all gray, but when you look more closely at it, there are many colors and nuances that will keep a conscientious coloring maven busy for hours.The pictures are meticulously rendered. There's nothing really earth-shattering in the book - just good basic material.Among the important points covered include:1. Mercy takes new pack member Zach along as she tries to figure out who is doing the haunting and how to make it stop. Did her dad not wear Depends-type undergarments?--or was he totally capable in that area of control of his body?Perhaps I should re-read the book, but there are two friends awaiting their turn at Ms. It is a novel about children and it is a novel about adults.Every one of the major characters has qualities of both children and adults in them.

The thousands who work there, human and alien both, have a single mission: To care for all patients, of all species. The volume is introduced by Hugo-winning SF writer and critic David Langford. These are endlessly inventive dramas of civility and spirituality, tempered with White's gently wicked wit and his keen eye for the remarkable in the everyday.Now, in a single omnibus, the second three volumes of the series-Ambulance Ship, Sector General, and Star Healer-return to print in complete and corrected editions, including a sequence ("Spacebird") omitted from previous American editions “A remarkable achievementThe argument developed in the series has lost none of its force.” —Brian Stableford“Neat, humorous, and humane.” —The Ultimate Guide to SF on the Sector General series“Dry wit and a glimpse into alien psychology Highly recommended!”—Library Journal“Sector General is one of the few places in SF that one would really, really like to exist.”—David Langford
