Dahners, Laurence E. Halting the Reaper. Stasis Stories No. 3. Kindle, 2020.
In Halting the Reaper, Laurence Dahners finds creative medical uses for Kaem Seba’s stasis field. That is not surprising since Dahners is a retired orthopedic surgeon who knows very well when it would be good to be able to quickly put patients on the figurative ice. Dahners also speculates about near-future gene therapies to treat genetic cancers and anemias. Kaem is too good to be true, but his unique capabilities allow Dahners to move scientific and technological evolution along at a breakneck pace. That is what this kind of old school science fiction is all about. 4 stars. ( )
