From the Back Cover (StarDoc): On the outer fringes of the galaxy lies Kevarzangia Two - home to over 200 different sentient species, fewer than one percent of which are human. The variant breeds live together in colonies across the planets surface, and every individual contributes time for the good of the community. But the frontier planet's medical resources remain scarce - thanks to the unsympathetic homeworlds of Kevarzangia Two's citizens.... Dr Cherijo Grey is a brilliant surgeon. Fed up with her domineering father, she leaves Earth and accepts a position as a physician at Kevarzangia Two's Free Clinic. In an environment where humans are a despised minority, Cherijo must prove herself as each medical emergency arises and presents her with challenges of treating species and illnesses she's never encountered before. But Cherijo harbors a secret in her past. A secret that, if discovered, could disrupt the already delicate relations between human and alien. A secret that's about to catch up with her. "I don't read much science fiction, but I got hold of StarDoc and just loved it. Don't miss this one." - Catherine Coulter "... continuously surprising and deviously written and splendidly full of new characters." - Anne McCaffrey From the Back Cover (Beyond Varallan): Sanctuary for a surgeon - Dr. Cherijo Grey Veil Torin had a bad year. With her identity as a genetically enhanced clone revealed, the Allied League of Worlds has declared her a non-sentient and demanded her return to Earth - where she will be handed over to her creator and treated as nothing more than a lab animal. Still reeling from the death of her husband, Cherijo knows only that she must stay free. So when her husband's extended clan, alien warriors who refuse to kowtow to the League, offers her a place aboard their ship, the Sunlace, she accepts it with gratitude. As the protegee to their Senior Healer, Cherijo finds a place to belong and a sense of freedom she never knew existed. But just when she is beginning to feel safe, a series of deadly accidents rocks the Sunlace - and places Cherijo and her newfound family in terrible danger.... Danger that may be directly linked to Cherijo herself. From the Back Cover (Endurance): Sworn to heal. Forced to survive. Colonel Shropana was willing to destroy the Jorenians just to capture Dr. Cherijo Torin for the Allied League of Worlds - so she felt little remorse for selling him out to brutal Hsktskt slave traders. But just as Cherijo made her escape, the man she once loved stabbed her in the back - and handed her over to the same slavers. Alone, hated, and feared by her fellow slaves, Cherijo needs all her training to save those in need - a difficult task amidst the endless brutality of their captors, but a far better fate than being the League's guinea pig. As she struggles desperately to help those she can, Cherijo reminds herself that good doctors don't let personal vendettas stand in the way of duty. But then, most doctors aren't Cherijo Torin... From the Back Cover (Shockball): Beginning in StarDoc - a novel hailed as one of the best science fiction books of the year by Science Fiction Chronicle - S. L. Viehl's smart, savvy, surgeon Cherijo Torin has ventured across the universe in and out of danger and love, driven by two great forces - her sworn duty to heal the sick, and her constant fear of the demented man who created her... Having freed herself from Hsktskt slave traders, Cherijo and her husband, Duncan, wanted to start looking for a nice quiet part of the universe where Cherijo's Creator, Joseph Grey, wouldn't find them. But Joseph Grey Veil never gives up... Now the newlyweds are living underground with the help of a renegade band of alien-human half-breeds. But when Duncan is forced into their deadly shockball games, and Cherijo is used to keep the players healthy, safety becomes its own kind of imprisonment, and Cherijo learns she cannot merely run from her part - she must destroy it....
