I really enjoyed "Prostho Plus". I've read it several times. For those who didn't google the unusual title, "Prostho Plus," the general plot is that a human dentist gets kidnapped by aliens with dental problems and then ends up traveling the galaxy solving exotic dental problems, making friends, and trying not to get killed.
It is a space opera so the science is not as hard as Orion's Arm, but it's a good quick read. I admit to picking it up more for the cover but wasn't disappointed. I could relate to the everyman dentist trying to deal with aliens more than a lot of space opera heroes.
