About this ebook

The classic science fiction trilogy in an omnibus edition.
Back in print after two decades!

To the totalitarian state of Oerlikon, change is the most fearsome enemy. So a secret weapon was created to preserve the status quo-the Morphodite. A bioengineered and laboratory-raised super assassin, the Morphodite was designed to scent out and destroy subversive conspiracies. A unique being, it can change its sex, identity, and even its genetic code as a defense. But its creators did not foresee that this untraceable, powerful assassin would morph into a true revolutionary hero-that would turn against the police state that created it.

Ratings and reviews

I'm not sure this should be marketed as science fiction. It's really fantasy with sparse science fiction elements. The author's misunderstandings of physiology and science could be excused by his extreme age, and the date of the book, if he managed to make up for it in other regards, but he doesn't. The pacing is all over the place, and the language is ridiculously stilted! The good bits are too far drowned in the bad. By about the middle of the third book I just gave up.
