Ship's Doctor By

Decades before The Love Boat and Dr. Odyssey, there was Ship’s Doctor, lost for nearly 70 years.

Dr. Richard Williams has been married twice, drinks too much, and is seeking escape from his miserable life by spending three months as the medical officer on a cruise ship. But once he is at sea, he finds himself plunged into a raging storm of lust, betrayal and danger when he falls for an alluring passenger with a dark secret.

Henry Lewis Nixon was a pseudonym for Dr. Herbert Leon Newbold (1921–1994), a psychiatrist and self-proclaimed dietician who advocated his namesake diet in several non-fiction books. In addition to his “sleazy” Nixon-penned novels (The Golden Couch, Confessions of a Psychiatrist, etc) he also wrote the “erotic novel” Dr. Cox’s Couch under his own name.
