The Day of the Klesh

Rating:
Summary: Superb final book of trilogy
Review: Though this book stands on its own, as the final volume of the ler trilogy it is a knockout. M A Foster is a wonderful novelist, sorry he is not around (professionally)to deliver more quality material.

The Ler Trilogy. Thomas Szaz wrote about deciphering and entering the world of the schizophrenic to establish the bridge back to health. Foster creates the bridge to the beyond human in a way that takes the reader into the other almost without our being aware. There's a seqence in Zan that is almost a dream state which captured me - took me in. Zan - the tale of the near human leaving earth to find freedom. The Warriors of Dawn carries on centuries later with a love story between human and near human. And Klesh, centuries later still, with the convergence of minds bringing the history together in an unimagined fashion.

These books have everything you look for in Sci Fi: character, morality, plot, sociology, relationship, humor, and a touch of technology. I always regret that I did not ask the woman on the stair stepper with the tattoo of the pterodactyl on her arm if she had ever read the Day of the Klesh. Read it and you'll know why..
