Daniel Feldman was a doctor once. He made the mistake of saving a friend's life in violation of Medical Lobby rules. Now, he's a pariah, shunned by all, forbidden to touch another patient.
But things are more loose on Mars. There, Doc Feldman is welcomed by the colonists, even as he's hunted by the authorities. But, when he discovers a Martian plague may soon wipe out humanity on two planets, the authorities begin hunting him for a different reason altogether.
Read by Steven Wilson.

A little juvinile. But well written, reminds me of Heinlin.By: Soren
This story dates itself. It has the "golden age" kinda hero, who somehow outsmarts everyone else. The depiction of women was sexist, and the political musings that were the thin excuse for the dystopian society were just annoying. Other than that, it was good entertainment.By: Tim
One of the few stories I've given 5 stars too all around. Great story telling. Like Chris said, reminds me of old Asimov or Philip K Dick type of story. Well written and well read. I'm hooked and can't wait to find out what happens next.
