The Diamonds saga finds its solution

This is the last of the four Diamonds novels. You will feel rather lost if you haven't read the first three books. I'm running into danger of repeating myself, but I have to mention that Mr. Chalker manages to surprise us again. The conditions on Medusa are totally different from Lilith, Cerberus and Charon, as well as the plot and the fate of our hero. You won't get bored, that's for sure.Of course, when the fourth mission is over, the Confederation agent, as you might have expected, puts all four reports together and sets about solving the mystery behind it all. Read the book to see what happens. "Medusa" is not a bad book, but it's far from reaching the level of "Lilith". It's approximately as good as "Cerberus" and "Charon". The final solution is - to my taste - too fantastic and far-fetched. I was slightly disappointed. Still, it's a great series, absolutely worth reading.

i still remimber it after years

I read this book years ago along with the others in the group (there are 4 in all). they still stand out in my mind when I think of good adventure sci-fi. the concept off these books alone is enough to keep you thinking, imagine they clone you 4 times ,send each clone down onto a planet he can never return from to spy on / gain control of its government. while you are left in space to oversee the copies of yourself and collect what they find out. add to that each world has a quirk of its own. one will not abide any technology but magic (seems)to work. on another you can change bodies with someone just by sleeping to close to them (whether you want or not). on yet another your body will mutate to suite its environment on the fly (jump in the water ,you got gills ) ect (NOW IMAGINE YOU WAKE UP THINKING YOUR YOU ONLY TO FIND OUT YOUR ONE OF THE CLONES)
