Star Wars: Medstar I: Battle Surgeons

A Clone Wars Novel

By: Michael Reaves, Steve Perry

Narrated by: Jonathan Davis

As Civil War between the Republic and the Separatists rages across the galaxy, nowhere is the fighting more fierce than on the swamp world of Drongar, where a beleaguered mobile hospital unit wages a never-ending war of its own . . .

A surgeon who covers his despair with wise-cracks; another who faces death and misery head-on, venting his emotions through beautiful music . . . A nurse with her heart in her work and her eye on a doctor . . . A Jedi Padawan on a healing mission without her Master . . .  These are the core members of a tiny med unit serving the jungle world of Drongar, where battle is waged over the control of a priceless native plant, and an endless line of medlifters brings in the wounded and dying—mostly clone troopers, but also soldiers of all species.

While the healers work desperately to save lives, others plot secretly to profit from the war—either by dealing on the black market or by manipulating the events of the war itself. In the end, though, all will face individual tests, and only those of compassionate hearts and staunch spirits can hope to survive to fight another day.© and (P)2004 Lucasfilm Ltd. and TM.

decent for abridged version

I wish they did tbe unabridged version. I don't get why they even make these abridged

Excellent

Excellent sorry, will acted. But, it felt like I missed too much due to the abridgement.

Grey's Anatomy in Space

All the action of any other Star Wars novel with a view into the operating room after each battle. New interesting characters that keep you intrigued as they develop throughout the story.

It's M.A.S.H. but in Star Wars

I never knew I needed this, this is great. there's more to the book and I enjoyed all of it, but the referemces to an old show I love drew me in

i hate abridged stories

If this had been a full length unabridged version it would have been 5***** all day long but abridged versions only rate 3*** at best
