Clones, Chimps, and death angels, oh my!

Fantastic book. When I was given the book, I assumed, judging by the cover, that it was a comedy. And it was, in a manner of speaking. But it was also an engrossing sf story, with allegorical tales of revolutionary chimps and a moral not unlike Stranger in a Strange Land. Clone, in my books, earned every one of those five stars, and then some.

Humour of the wonderful

This was my first Cowper book. The story is so full of humour and also what I call good old science fiction that I loved it. In fact I have read it about three times, and probably will again. My only dissapointment was the ending, which I thought a bit lame considering the possibilities of a sort of gestalt superman who is the hero. But if you want to be taken out of yourself, here is a good read.
