Description
Doctor to the Stars is a collection of three science fiction stories by Murray Leinster. The tales follow a medical doctor who travels between planets, using his knowledge of medicine to solve problems and overcome challenges. In "The Grandfathers' War", he tries to prevent a conflict that could have disastrous consequences for families. In "Med Ship Man", he thwarts a con artist's attempt to exploit a colony. The third story, Tallien Three, is a tense and unsettling tale of transformation. These stories, written in the 1950s, offer an entertaining glimpse into the science fiction genre of that era. They may not be considered masterpieces by modern standards, but they remain pleasant and engaging reads. If you're interested in exploring average good science fiction from this period, Doctor to the Stars is a good place to start.
