Sector General

Sector General, like its generic title, is an unassuming short story which does not aspire to the lordly -- well, mock-baronial -- estate of fix-up novel. And all the better for it. I've got nothing against fix-up novels, my all-time favourite sf book being A.E.van Vogt's The War against the Rull. (I don't care what anybody thinks about that -- so there. N.B. The term 'fix-up' was coined by van Vogt. Contents: 'Accident'; 'Survivor'; 'Investigation'; 'Combined Operation' (see under Short Stories).
