5.0 out of 5 stars A VERY GOOD READ!!!!! July 2 2004
By Elaine C McTyer
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I bought this book because I read BLADE DANCER and loved it. I only bought STARDOC because I didn't think I would like the book. Instead I loved it. This book reminds me of the old Science Fiction Classics. It depends more on characters than it does on science.

As soon as I read it I rushed out and bought the rest of them. Five in all and each one better than the last.

If you like Elizabeth Moon I think you will love these books. The characters are well rounded and you have some to love and some to hate.

Escaping Earth is a must for Dr. Cherijo Grey Veil. The drama of the clinic and the response of aliens not only to humans, but to each other is well done.

This is an older book and there are lots of reviews. After you read them, make up your own mind. As for myself I really loved the series. Each book got better and better. I hope there will be a new one soon.

5.0 out of 5 stars This author ROCKS! Mar 14 2003
By Detra Fitch TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Mass Market Paperback
To escape her father on Terra (Earth) Dr. Cherijo Grey Veil (a brilliant surgeon) applied for a position on Kevarzangia Two at a FreeClinic. She had never worked on non-humans, but that area was desperate for any medical person able to hold a stethoscope, so she got the job. She must quickly learn to help over 200 different species (some were extremely dangerous just to LOOK at, much less help them when they are in pain)! Humans were looked down upon so that was a problem. Then there was her father. He found her.

Readers, I cannot tell you what was going on there. Only that when Cherijo found out secrets about her father, her choices were run or have guards to keep her in line with a possible mind swipe.

But when her father came to retrieve her, it took a large band of Jorenian Warriors to rescue/kidnap her from Kevarzangia Two AND broke treaties among planets! The secret was huge and could change the future for humanity. Daddy was a genious by Terran standards. Daddy was a monster by human standards though!

I saw in the back of the book that July 2000 will be another adventure of Dr. Veil's! YIPEE! I can hardly wait! I'm off to some book clubs to see if I can find a copy in hard back! I plan to keep a copy of this one! David Weber and Anne McCaffrey has competition big time! DO NOT MISS THIS ONE, READERS!

4.0 out of 5 stars A lot of fun!
Aside from a slightly slow beginning (hence the four - it's really a 4.5) StarDoc is nothing but sheer scifi adventure. In the words of the immortal Furby, "Big fun! Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Ugh...
I'm an avid science fiction reader, and I was very disappointed with this novel. The main character seems very immature at times, and everyone hates her for no particular reason. Read more
