Star Surgeon
By Alan Nourse
CHAPTER 1

The shuttle plane from the port of Philadelphia to Hospital Seattle had already gone when Dal Timgar arrived at the loading platform, even though he had taken great pains to be at least thirty minutes early for the boarding. You'll just have to wait for the next one, the clerk at the dispatcher's desk told him unsympathetically. There's nothing else you can do. But I can't wait, Dal said. I have to be in Hospital Seattle by morning. He pulled out the flight schedule and held it under the clerk's nose. Look there! The shuttle wasn't supposed to leave for another forty-five minutes! The clerk blinked at the schedule, and shrugged. The seats were full, so it left, he said. Graduation time, you know. Everybody has to be somewhere else, right away. The next shuttle goes in three hours.

Subject: Good read
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.

Subject: 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.
