Dark Wing
by Carl West Katherine MacleanDark Wing is a 240 page science fiction novel written by Carl West and Katherine MacLean and first published in 1979. It tells the story of a teenager who, not permitted to join an intersteller colonizing expedition, acquires illegal medical knowledge and struggles against governmental repression to save his non-earthborn friend and to achieve his own dreams. Argo's summary reads as follows:Travis had raced to the New York Spaceport hoping the space shuttle that held his classmates was waiting for him. But of course it wasn't. When his parents had refused to sign for him, even though he had trained for space for two years, that was the end. As the shuttle left the spaceport, he knew that his dreams were dead. And he was on spaceport land without a permit to be there. It was in escaping from a police copter looking for tresspassers that Travis found an ambulance, wrecked maybe seventy years before, with two paramedic :vases still intact, their information about medicine and the art of healing waiting for anyone who wanted to understand. But medicine was even more illegal than being at the spaceport. Anyone found trying to practice medicine was open to a thorough brainwashing. Yet Travis found himself fascinated. More than fascinated-an eager student. And soon he was caught up in a black market of doctoring. But his illegal medical practice was not his only problem. There was his friend Iron Phedon, who had actually been born on another planetCentauri II, Nueva Terra-and who was being detained on earth after the death of his parents by political and commercial interests for highly unsavory reasons. Readers will find the New York City that Travis explores-from the strange services of the Deathwatch to. the luxury and greed of corporate officialdom-different in technology and structure from the city of today but not so different in the people who make it up. It is a place where anything can be had for a price, including a completely new identity and life history, and where a small vial of penicillin can make the fortune needed to achieve one's grandest dreams.
