Reviews


I loved the story, and it was well read. The only problem is that at the beginning of some episodes there is a very loud CLICK right after "The following is a podiobooks.com presentation." This happens in chapters 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, and 12. It can actually be painful ...

So Enjoyed

Exellently read by Mr. Nourse. The story was engrossing. Easy to identify with the main character in overcoming challenges. Interesting concept for medical care for solar systems.


I liked the book star surgeon, even though it is somewhat dated but the core story is very good classic sci fi. I think if it could be done the terminology could do with updating to include something other than tapes and to include gene therapy but well a good ...


Really a gem. If you finish the book, and hear Scott's motivations, you'll see he perfectly met them. The story is a wonderful mid-1950 style, and Scott's narration is spot-on. A real don't miss effort!


Top notch reading quality on this book. I found the narration particularly pleasant to listen to. I am delighted to hear that Scott has been busy recording another title.

A good old fashioned yarn.

A thoughtful story, combining good characterisation and situations, with a deeper more philosophical strand, that takes a peek at Human nature.

very enjoyable

I enjoyed this book when I first read it many years ago. I do not know haw many times I have read it. Like most excellent books, it is remembered too well to be a new story. This audiobook is done very well and the reader’s presentation matched the quality of the book.

one of my favorites.
