Star Surgeon: A Remarkably Intelligent, Insightful and Challenging Sci-Fi NovelBefore the classic sci-fi shows of the 60s and 70s were books like Star Surgeon which were often the cause of inspiration for some well-known sci-fi stories that followed. Written by Alan Nourse, who was a doctor himself at some point during his life, Star Surgeon explores the relations and possible cooperation between humans and aliens, while touching upon sensitive topics such as humanity's - and more specifically the medical community's - ability to flow with new and unexpected changes.The novel follows the storyline of Dal Timgar, the first alien to ever study at and graduate from a prestigious medical university on Earth. While considered a potentially brilliant medical doctor, Timgar has to fight against the discriminations and prejudices of his superiors and his classmates, in his effort to prove himself, while also dealing with interstellar medical emergencies.It's easy to see how numerous popular sci-fi shows and fragments from well-known sci-fi movies and books that followed would be loosely based on Nourse's novel. Advanced medicine is an important part of any sci-fi story, and when you throw the relationship between humans and aliens into the mix, you get potential story arcs that cannot be ignored.Star Surgeon explores several of the challenges that these story arcs may represent, and also tackles the problem of how, as human beings, we find it so difficult to accept changes, even when they are for our own good. Moreover, the novel presents Dal Timgar as a complex and well-developed character who feels quite real and unique, making the story all the more entertaining.With an engaging plot, an excellent style and detailed descriptions, Star Surgeon is a work of literary art that can compare to some of the most significant sci-fi novels of the 20th century.

What makes a man super?What makes him think he is a superman?What makes him think he IS Superman?Find out along with Clark Kent.THE ZOMBIE KILLERS: ORIGINSBearAugust 4thWe were down along the river checking over some of the old buildings that are perched on the cliffs there, high above the water. Fall was not far away, and we knew we had to get moving, get out of this dead city. We had half the country to cross and find a place before winter came back around again. We had left the others in our place off the park - an abandoned factory building I had found after I had lost Donita - and struck out looking for food earlier that morning. With the park and its crowds so near to us, the shops and small stores for blocks around us were stripped clean. Another reason to get out of the city. It was time. I remember thinking that as I walked along.I was thinking back to March as I walked. Not really paying attention to the walk, where I was going... March... Just a few months ago, but the world was still the world then. And for the next little while there, we didn't even know about the dead. Dead was still dead. When you closed your eyes for the long eternal sleep you didn't wake up a short minute later as something else. No. We were ignorant up until they decided to come after us. Ignorant. Stupid. Didn't know a thing. Didn't have a clue. I had been in Central Park a few days after the first earthquakes hit. I had left Donita alone and went down on my own to see what the deal was. I found out nothing. No one knew any more than any one else. There was a lot of speculation, but that was it. There had been earthquakes. It had rained hard for nearly twenty four hours straight. The really freaky stuff hadn't happened yet. We were just starting down our new path, but what was clear was that thousands of people had died in the city, maybe more than thousands, maybe a million or more. And certainly millions if the damage here was the same across the country... or worldwide. And my initial estimate turned out to be a kind. In the city alone: collapsed buildings, fires, exposure to the elements because there was no shelter. There were millions of bodies. It was not so bad in those first few days, but a few days later, when the smell of the dead rotting under the rubble began, it was horrible. The diseases started then too. And the diseases took thousands more, and we thought that was the end of it, but it was not. The dead came next. The same dead, newly risen to some other sort of life. But that day in Central Park I did not know about the dead yet. I had no idea what was ahead; what was before me was bad enough...The Zombie Killers are the men and women who keep the new settlements safe for the other Earth's Survivors. Those in the Nation and those in the Fold, and the many independent colonies that would not be able to exist without their help and intervention. They are the ones who search out supplies, fight the Zombie Plagues and live in the constant danger of the real world so that the others can live in the safety of their settlements.In this first book they come into their own as a team and set themselves on the true course that they will follow from then on, with one mission only: To wipe out the Zombie Plagues infesting the world and make it a safe place to live and die once more. Whether through fighting them or finding the reason and the cure for the Zombie Plagues that have infested the world.

What happens when the line between human and machine is crossed? What happens when the machines are implanted into humans? When does a human become a machine and a machine a human? Where is the line drawn? This short story explores this.This is a collection of over 250 poems that altogether seeks to reflect man as both the poet and the actor who handles the helm of his own affairs, on a timed cruise, down his very own banked personal river. Using his abilities to compose and steer his poetic story, faring only as suitably as his capabilities and fate enables him.The essence of poetry is in its use of eloquent apt words to convey the poet’s exact thoughts, as they are felt or experienced by him. Like it is the actor’s ability to apply specific skills to portray a scripted character reveals a story, it is likewise the poet's grant to create the content and set the beauty of the words.If the soul is scripted, if the mind can think, if the heart does feel and the body is specific; then every individual distinctively roams on a course throughout their lives that can be manipulated to fit their own different experience, but not actually change it. For the poet mans the helm, and the cruise is his composed poem.
