Summary: This one should make you think!
Review: The Moreau factor is a beautifully written book with solid scientific footing. It contains most of the typical Chalkeresque elements his fans will crave, but it also cracks the door on what will in the future surely prove to be the most wondrous and horrifying power the world has yet seen: genetic science. Although very fanciful, the issues Chalker presents are real, and the strides current science is making and the ethical questions they raise are addressed in the book. The book proceeds at a comfortable pace and contains a pleasant balance of mystery and action. Unfortunately, the ending is a trifle abrupt for my tastes, but nonetheless the book is worth reading if for no other reason than to consider the future ramifications of genetic science.

Summary: FARCICAL CHUCKLES
Review: What starts out like a comic strip Moreauville slowly draws the reader into a whirlpool dystopia--science gone mad. What happens when man develops intellectual, symbiotic relationships with genetically smart supercomputers? Chalker paints a computer, Ariel, who can design stem cells to either transform men into unique chimera animals or give them the forever sought after fountain of youth. The book leads the reader through some heavy plodding as the protagonists are pitted against some beasts from hades. The hoped for ending will not disappoint, however, if ever there was ever a contrived, spit in your eye, happy ending this is it.

PS: Congrats to Chalker for breaking sexual taboos in sci-fi by including the exploits of a bragging Italian Stallion and a Big Breasted Babe. Hopefully his crystal ball is smogged regarding the future thrills a church wedding can provide.
