Leviathan Wakes
By James S.A. Corey. ..Humanity has colonized the solar system - Mars, the Moon, the Asteroid Belt and beyond - but the stars are still out of our reach. Jim Holden is XO of an ice miner making runs from the rings of Saturn to the mining stations of the Belt. When he and his crew stumble upon a derelict ship, The Scopuli, they find themselves in possession of a secret they never wanted. A secret that someone is willing to kill for - and kill on a scale unfathomable to Jim and his crew. War is brewing in the system unless he can find out who left the ship and why.
This pair of M.D.s build the case for fixing the nation's fragmented health-care system with a lot of high-tech grease and a change in attitude. Long on statistics and occasional medical-business speak, but still readable, the pair from Partners Healthcare System in Boston (Lee is network president, Morgan is CEO) declare the fix is simple—tight organizational structures, with salaried physicians, electronic medical records, doctors working in teams: in short, a system like Cleveland Clinic's, highlighted by President Obama. But given the current congressional infighting, the good doctors' dream may be doomed.
