Starfleet Corps of Engineers Trapped on a strange world, Dr. Elizabeth Lense finds herself aiding the Jabari freedom fighters as their new medic, working with equipment she finds primitive on people wounded in their fight against the Kornak. All the while she hopes that her crewmates on the da Vinci might rescue her -- and not blame her for the death of Julian Bashir....Unknown to her, though, Bashir is alive, recovering in a Kornak military facility, where he becomes the focus of a power struggle between the medical and military personnel in the hospital. When the Jabari attack the hospital, Lense and Bashir find themselves on opposite sides of a conflict that can only end in tragedy....

About the author

Among other things, I was an English major in college and so I know that I'm supposed to write things like, "Ilsa J. Bick is ." Except I hate writing about myself in the third person like I'm not in the room. Helloooo, I'm right here . . . So let's just say that I'm a child psychiatrist (yeah, you read that right)as well as a film scholar, surgeon wannabe (meaning I did an internship in surgery and LOVED it and maybe shoulda stuck), former Air Force major—and an award-winning, best-selling author of short stories, e-books, and novels. Believe me, no one is more shocked about this than I . . . unless you talk to my mother.

Reviews

[John Barclay · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is the conclusion to the equally confused and confusing Wounds. I found it very hard to get into this book even though it had a lot of interesting medical detail and some interesting ideas about other species and medical ethics questions. I'm not totally sure why.

I think the main reason is that the book never seemed to be going anywhere, or explaining why the characters were people I should care about. I also had a lot of trouble getting past the fact that this was a book that basically had Star Trek tacked onto the side of it without much about the main things of the universe in it.
Some parts of the writing were very interesting and visceral (the conscious soldier getting his leg amputated by Lense was very powerful) and too many of the characters were not.
