The versatile Phyllis Gotlieb has produced an exciting science fiction tale in her latest novel, O Master Caliban. She has cleverly combined several favourite science fiction themes: biological experimentation, computerization, space travel and exploration…. O Master Caliban is an entertaining, diverting suspense novel, marred only by a few sequences in which chance plays too large a role for the maintenance of credibility even in science fiction.
