Interstellar Medic
Being a paramedic is a tough job; itâs tougher when you stumble onto a crashed alien spacecraft. Melanie Mooney thought she was just doing her job when she came upon an unusual accident in the deep woods late one night. Acting alone, what she found was nothing like sheâd expected. What followed was even more unexpected. Recruited by emissaries of a galaxy-spanning civilization, Melanie is thrust into a world she thought only existed in supermarket tabloids. As the first human in the Galactic Union Medical Corps, she cares for extraterrestrials in desperate need of a medic who can ignore the fact that theyâre nothing like any patient sheâs ever seen, even on their best days. And in emergency medicine, itâs a given that every patient is having the worst day of their life. Each run takes her deeper into the galaxy and farther from home, navigating alien cultures that only get weirder with each call. It will take all of Melanieâs experience, instinct, and grit to prove herselfâand the rest of humanityâto be worthy of the Union. Thatâs a lot to put on a woman whoâd just like to end the day with a cheeseburger and a cold beer.
