Sharon Webb (1936–2010)

I have had this in my physical library for a couple of decades. It's ridiculous. The cover is ridiculous. The premise is ridiculous. And if I were to describe it, I'd say, it's "A. Lee Martinez writes a space soap opera." There's spy verus spy. I believe there might be a sentient plant. There's a race of lizards, one of whom has a temper-tantrum. There's a human Doctor Dreamy and a sweet nurse who wants to Help and meet Dr. Dreamy, not necessarily in that order. I have no idea how I found show more it, but it always managed to crack me up and be rather sweet at the same time. show less

Warped humor. A set of characters first introduced to me in my IASfM subscription. Looked forward to each chapter as each one seemed to get Nurse Terra into one increasingly hilarious (often bizarre) scrape after another. Echoes of her turn of phrase in the opening little letter blurb still crack me up in a way some of the "Hello Mother Hello Father ... From Camp ... " song skits did. I was thrilled to see Terra get her own book and glad, despite description, it kept the humor and show more letters-from-the-outcast-stuck-in-weird-camp writing home bits.

Original even if should very much appeal to fans of Nurse Gillian character's wisecracks in the first few Stanger In A Strange Land. show less

A very strange novel about an unknowing spy/nurse.

Wat een schat aan (pre)historische monumenten en overblijfselen in en om Kilmartin Glen!!!
