Sinopsis

"Daniel Feldman had once been a doctor. He made the mistake of saving a friend's life in violation of the 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, Feldman finds himself a pivotal figure. War erupts. Earth is poised to wipe out the Mars colony utterly. A cure to the plague is the price of peace, and only Feldman can find it."

Acerca del autor

Lester del Rey (1915-1993) was an American science fiction writer, editor, critic, and anthologist whose career helped shape the development and popular reach of twentieth-century speculative fiction. Born Leonard Knapp, he became known professionally as Lester del Rey and published widely in the magazines that defined the Golden Age and post-Golden Age science fiction marketplace. His fiction often combined brisk storytelling with clear speculative premises, making his work accessible to younger readers while still engaging major science-fiction themes: technological change, space travel, future societies, scientific responsibility, and the individual under pressure from large systems.Del Rey was also a major editorial figure. With Judy-Lynn del Rey, he helped build Del Rey Books into one of the most recognisable science fiction and fantasy imprints in American publishing. His influence therefore extended beyond his own stories and novels into the careers of many other writers and the commercial development of modern genre publishing. Works such as Badge of Infamy, The Sky Is Falling, Police Your Planet, and Marooned on Mars show his gift for compact, idea-driven adventure and his continuing place in the history of classic American science fiction.
