This is a selection of seven short stories including ones set on Sector General. Amazon reader remarks: (by "Queen Cobra") There"s only one Sector General Story, but most of the others are set in the same universe. "Countercharm" concerns Dr. Conway"s encounter with one of the hazards of his profession. Doctors at Sector General get their xenomedical knowledge from "Educator Tapes" the recorded minds of ET physicians. The catch is you don"t just get their medical knowledge but *everything* including their sex drive - which can lead to embarrassing and distracting consequences. In "Kill or Cure" a Navy rescue team discovers their wreck is "not of this world". They do their best to help the injured, sluglike beings inside but do they dare let them contact their friends? An alien species is deliberately formenting military tensions on Earth in "Red Alert". Is this a preliminary to invasion? Or is something else going on? In "Tableau" Earth"s first contact with another species results in war. Then an Earth soldier and one of the alien Orligians find themselves trapped together in the wreckage of their ships and discover it"s all due to a horrible misunderstanding. In "Conspirators" the laboratory animals aboard the the first intersteller explorer plan their escape with the help of the ship"s cat and a pet canary. In "The Scavengers" a Terran taskforce is assigned to "clean up" those aliens who survived the initial attack. And finally "Occupation: Warrior" not only provides the missing half to the first Sector General story in "Hospital Station" but gives the unexpected background of Fleet Commander Dermod.
