Synopsis: From the front flap of the Tor first edition: Sector General. It's the massive hospital space station - 384 levels, with a staff of thousands - on the Galactic Rim, where human and alien medicine meet. It's also the setting for some of the most entertaining novels of modern SF, James White's Sector General series, which began three decades ago with Hospital Station.
Now White returns to Sector General to tell the tale of the great Gurronsevas, a massive six-legged alien of considerable dignity, who is the most renowned chef in all the galactic federation.
Chef? Just so. But now, at the peak of his career, Gurronsevas finds that fame, honor, and a large staff of scurrying minions aren't enough anymore. He wants to take on the greatest challenge of his professional life: making hospital food palatable.
And not just any hospital, either. Gurronsevas has come to Sector General. And interspecies understanding may never recover...
Combining intrigue, ingenious puzzles (and even more ingenious solutions), action, adventure, and White's characteristic charm, The Galactic Gourmet is a science fiction treat.
