Lilith: A Snake in the Grass (
$7.00 Kindle), the first in
The Four Lords of the Diamond tetralogy by Jack L. Chalker, is this month's free book from Phoenix Pick. This one was originally printed in 1981 (Del Rey), was featured in an omnibus edition in 1983 and reprinted in 1986. It then dropped off the map, until being picked up by Phoenix Pick. You can still get it in paperback, but for some reason, the newer listings on Amazon are not linked together (which makes it harder to find the reviews).
Book Description
Four worlds that cannot be visited.
Four worlds that must be visited.
Aliens are spying on Earth from one of the four worlds that make up the Warden Diamond. But it is impossible to send agents to any of the four worlds because of unique microscopic symbionts that make it impossible for visitors to leave the Diamond.
Seeking a unique solution, each of the four worlds making up the Diamond is sent a person whose mind has been stripped of everything and who is now controlled by an agent of the Confederacy
Lilith is the first planet to be visited. Here, Cal Tremon, stripped of his own personality, must overcome incredible odds and survive not only the incredible perils of the foreign planet but his own controllers as well.
