Hospital Station

Great read! Nice length, enjoyed the characters and the challenges they faced. The perspective on the Monitor corps and the internal thought process about them felt realistic and relatable.

It was so refreshing to read a sci-fi book that wasn't just "war/capitalism...but in space!!"

it seemed clear that this was originally short stories, and that format works really well here. I feel a little odd, reading what's really book form of the hospital dramas that grace our television screens. Really enjoying it, though - the pros is clear, the characters typically singleminded, and if the odd sentence is repeated word-for-word because of the story-to-novel conversion process, then it just serves to push me to the next sentence to see what's coming up.
