description: Med Ship, a book in the Med Service series: Omnibus of stories by Murray Leinster. Scattered through the galaxy are thousands of worlds colonized by humans. Many have native microbes dangerous to the human immigrants. Others have diseases brought to them accidentally, or on purpose, by visiting ships. When millions of lives are threatened, it's a job for the Interstellar Medical Service, and a Med Ship is sent to solve the problem. Calhoun is the best the Med Service has, and hard experience has taught him that often the major obstacle to curing the sick is...the sick. And removing that king of obstacle may take very strong medicine.Contents (Cover art by Bob Eggleton): * Med Ship Man [Med Service] (1963) / novelette by Murray Leinster * Plague on Kryder II [Med Service] (1964) / novella by Murray Leinster The Mutant Weapon [Med Service] (1957) / novella by Murray Leinster * Ribbon in the Sky [Med Service] (1957) / novelette by Murray Leinster * Tallien Three [Med Service] (1963) / novella by Murray Leinster * Quarantine World [Med Service] (1966) / novella by Murray Leinster * The Grandfathers' War [Med Service] (1957) / novella by Murray Leinster * Pariah Planet [Med Service] (1961) / novella by Murray Leinster * Editors' Afterword (Med Ship) • essay by Eric Flint and Guy Gordon.
