Order of James White Books

James White was an author from Northern Ireland known for his contributions to science fiction. He is most recognized for his twelve-book series, the Sector General novels, which began with Hospital Station, released in 1962. The final installment, Double Contact, was published posthumously in 1999. White developed an interest in science fiction early in life and co-authored two fan magazines in the genre. Encouraged by fellow fans, he started publishing his own stories, with his first short stories appearing in 1953 and his debut novel following in 1957. His writing style was distinctive as he preferred to avoid violence, opting instead to create dramatic tension through medical and other emergencies. In recognition of his work, White was posthumously awarded the James White Award for the best short story by a non-professional writer.
