Beginning Operations by Brian Stableford, James White
4.0
Good setting, okay writing
Contains the first three Sector General books. I like it for the setting and alien concepts rather than the writing or the characters who can feel rather annoying or cliche in their repetitive roles. Conway, the ever deductive protagonist, must keep his plan a secret until the big reveal test result thwarting incredulous onlookers' voiced skepticism. I would have liked to have seen the competencies of other earth-human staff presented more than just being vehicles for Conway's "eureka" moments. I loved pretty much all the alien characters, though.
