  • Science Fiction Club to discuss Hospital Station by James White. 02/12/2026

    Hello Folks,

     

    A good meeting to start out the new year.

     

    We decided to read the first book in a popular series, Hospital Station by James White, book 1 in the Sector General series.

     

    There’s an Excellent version on Bookshare at:

     

    https://www.bookshare.org/browse/book/1053784

     

    The Bookshare synopsis reads:

     

    Sector general is the home of many strange creatures, including humans!

    it is a vast sectionalized hospital, set up in space to care for all kinds of extra-terrestrials. Each section has a different atmosphere and habitat to cater for the many different species. all the problems of the staff and patients are in this book. how to design a spacesuit for a surgeon with eight legs?

     

    NLS has Hospital Station as the first book in a three-book collection called Beginning Operations, DB63073, narrated by Jack Fox:

  • Science Fiction Club. 01/08/2026

    Hello Folks,

     

    Hope you all are having a good start to your new year.

     

    It’s just about time for another meeting of the Science Fiction club, the first one of 2026.

     

    It’s another Bring Your Own Book meeting. We decided to do that, rather than have a group read over the holidays. Besides, we’ll now have five weeks until the next meeting on February 12, so the length of the book will not be an issue.

     

    So hope you guys will be thinking about what we might want to read as a group this month.

    Science Fiction

    “Deep space holds secrets… and one astronomer for NASA has found a big

    one. But it’s not what she thinks. Dr. Melody Adams, a physicist and the
    Gemini North Observatory, was studying Pluto in the telescope data and
    it struck her as odd. The numbers didn’t make sense. Could there be an
    extraterrestrial object in our solar system? She followed protocol. The
    scientific community didn’t believe her. And before she knew what
    happened, her career was over. The day that changed Melody’s life was
    like any other over the previous two years. She’d found she had a gift
    for writing and her career as an author had almost healed the pain of
    losing her job. When the Secret Service rang her bell, everything
    changed. Something was nearing Saturn… and it was slowing down. Had
    she been right about the object? You’ll love this hard science fiction
    novel because Melody is about to find out that everything she knew about
    space and time was wrong.”– From publisher. Strong language and some
    violence.
