Rating: Summary: A fantasy of man's future after messing with his DNA Review: I first read this book back in 1981 when I was in high school. A group of us were into the SCIFI/ Fantasy thing. Since then I have read hundreds of book in these genre, but I always considered Brother to Demaons Brother to God to be one of the best ever. I am lucky to have found a copy of it via Amazon.com after having searched for over eight years.This love story centers on human beings struggle against numan and and muman mutuations after man has minipulated his DNA. These mutants have a lot psychic powers that enable them to live like gods. In their lore there was a prophecy of a new breed of mankind that was destined to put an end to their tyranny. After trying to elimate the parents of the new man, the "god" found that they were helpless, even after the death of the expectant mother of the new human. It is definitely a book to be read.
Rating: Summary: A masterpiece Review: This is one of the first sf books I read (after happily stumbling across one fourth of it in an Analog magazine). It's the story of the struggle of humans to survive a world that is inhabited by better creatures--creatures that humans had shortsightedly made. It is also a love story. It is also a story of self-discovery. Williamson's philosophy of self-empowerment and humanism comes through in what can sometimes be a dehumanizing genre. I recommend this book to everyone!
