2.0 out of 5 stars
if you have nothing else to do,
This review is from: Key to Survival (Paperback)
I bought the downloaded copy of this book direct from the publisher Mundania Press. It only cost six dollars and it's a good thing that was all, because it really wasn't worth that much more. The problem with this book is that there is only one real problem and the rest of it is any quest designed to help the persons find whatever it was they were supposed to find in order to achieve the main quest. It gets a little boring, if you've already read other Piers Anthony titles to have characters emulating other characters emulating other characters pretending to be one another for sexual purposes. Sex is a major plot point in this book. It's not just incidental. The relationships among humans, not humans, aliens and machines can get a little confusing and in many cases seem just pointless. The major conflict is designed around the fact that the machine culture is attacking a humid and other living cultures. For some reason that the characters have to find out and to deal with special characters called Glamors who have powers which enable them to do more investigation of the mystery than other characters. Also Glamours are especially sexual and their sex lives are described in great detail.
It's a fantasy and science fiction novel, which is almost pornographic in tone. Key to Survival is not one of Piers Anthony's better works, but if you're out of the country, you could download and read it to pass the time. If you have access to a good library in English, almost any other book you would select would be better. |
