F/SF

This is a full novel about Telzey Amberdon from The Telzey Toy, and although it is set earlier than the short stories, I'm glad I read it after I read the collection. Again, this is perfect vintage sci-fi and very enjoyable.

Also, a big bonus for me is that the dog lives. ( )

Excellent early science fiction. And like the first cat you see with blue eyes, this was the first that treated women as competent, functioning people instead of sex objects. I'm forever grateful to Schmitz.

Oh, yes, the story. Telzey Amberdon, a young xenotelepath, runs into a mutated strain of humans who fight for dominance in "The Lion Game." ( )
