Dark Wing

In a not-too-distant future (or maybe an alternate reality?), practicing medicine has been outlawed and being 'sick' is seen as a personal failure. Travis is a young man who aspired to be a space traveler but when he doesn't make it aboard the ship he needs to figure out something else to do with his life. He comes across an abandoned ambulance with some medical texts, and a hermit in the woods who teaches him a little more about healing. He also befriends a young man from another planet who is being targeted by some bad guys and tries to help him get home.
The world-building in this one is really great and I would have liked more in this world. The two plots with Travis and his friend didn't fit together as seamlessly as I expected them show more to by the end of the book. Seems also like the ending left room for a sequel or two. show less
