She’s the best doctor in the galaxy but the galaxy knows her as Dr. Trouble.

Dr. Xandria Trebelin graduated at the top of her class with unmatched skills in both human and alien medicine. She should be launching a brilliant medical career aboard prestigious starships and advanced space stations.

Instead?

Hospitals refuse to hire her.

Why? Because wherever Xandria goes, impossible medical disasters seem to follow. Exploding parasites. Alien infections nobody’s ever seen. Patients that probably shouldn’t have extra tentacles. Her colleagues think she’s cursed. Xandria thinks she’s just unlucky.

Desperate for a fresh start, she accepts a position on a remote frontier world far from civilization and even farther from her ruined reputation.

Then everything gets worse.

During the journey, Xandria accidentally collides with a mysterious alien species no one has ever documented before...and the encounter leaves her unable to physically touch another living being without catastrophic consequences.

For a physician, it’s a nightmare wrapped in cosmic irony.

Now stranded far from home, surrounded by strange aliens, bizarre medical emergencies, and escalating danger, Xandria must find a cure before she loses the career she sacrificed everything to achieve.

Assuming the universe doesn’t kill her first.

Perfect for readers who love witty space opera, alien first contact, medical sci fi, quirky heroines, and fast-paced adventures packed with humor, heart, and weird extraterrestrial chaos. Dr. Troubleis a lighthearted sci-fi novella where medicine meets mayhem in deep space.
