On the Belgariad and Malloreon:

• [Cause: MA Result: BX Saturation: +.] The books are Fantasy, and can be found almost anywhere. They deal extensively with Shapechanging. They are all excellent books. Subjects also touched upon are Demons, and the transforming of others into other shapes. You would have to read them to understand what I mean. -9

The Ruby Knight {//79} [BBT]

[Grafton; 1991; 0246137312; $8.99?] [BB]

• [Cause: MA Result: BX/RM?.] Fantasy novel in Elenium trilogy. One of Azoch's creatures' life is speeded up to make it transform to its next and harmless form. -79

Edghill, Rosemary [??]

The Sword of Maiden's Tears {/Ph/} [??] [BBT]

[DAW; 1994; 0886776228; $4.99] [BB]

• Cause: MA Result: BM. One element of the story is a sword which transforms any human wielding it into a man-eating monster. Not read; received a largely-positive review in Locus 403, p.35. -Ph

Edmonson, Roger [??]

Silverwolf {/87,154/} [??] [BBT]

[Banned Books; 1990; 0934411328; $?] [BB]

• [Result: LY.] Giggle, snort. Gay werewolf porn, no kidding. Well written--and what collection would be complete without it (gryn). -87
• Lycanthropy. -154
• Amazon.com lists the author as Roger Emerson, not Roger Edmonson. Is this an error? -Ph

Effinger, George Alec [AL] [BL] [BR]

The Nick of Time {/3/} [BBT]

[?]

• [Cause: MA Result: BX/AN/IN.]
• there is section which involves "The Historian," who can change reality to suit himself. Our hero is turned into a lizard-man for a while (and discovers that lizards don't like crepe suzettes), and gets involved in a rebellion against the historian. For punishment, he's turned into a rapid succession of things (a big sentient chocolate, an atom of formaldehyde, etc.). The transformations aren't really important to the plot, but the book's worth seeking out just for its sheer goofiness. -3

Egan, Greg

Quarantine {/103/} [BBT]

[Harper; 1992; 0-06-105423-2; $?]

• [Cause: AM Result: PE.] Rating: 4 Significance: 0 Description: + Saturation: -. An excellent book for quantum mechanics buffs. The main transformation in this book is when the main character is made loyal to an organization by brain rewiring; it's very well handled and described. There's also a one-scentence physical transformation in the last bit of the book, but it's not worth it just for that. The ending completely ruins the story, but until that point I really liked this book. -103

[Tor; 1983; 052348075X; $3.95] [BB]

Emshwiller, Peter

The Host {11//} [BBT]

[Bantam Spectra; 1991; 0553289845; $4.50] [RR] [BB]

• [Cause: AS Result: MT.] Manhattan of the future has been segregated between the classes, separate but very unequal. One popular activity for the upper class is to have their minds transferred into the body of a lower class "host". One interesting aspect of this transfer is that the host's mind remains in his/her body, but has no control. SF; Rating: 4 Significance: + Description: - Saturation: -. -11

Short Blade {/11/} [BBT]

[Spectra; 1992; 0553294172; $4.99] [BB]

• [Cause: AS.] The sequel to The Host. A good story, set in a future Manhattan where the division between the classes is quite literal and physical, this book details the war that erupts between the classes. The only real 'transformation' is a minor one taking place at the end of the book. SF; Rating: 4 Result: MT/GC Significance: + Description: - Saturation: -. -11

Endore, Guy [??]

Estes, Rose [BL]

Greyhawk Adventures 3: Master Wolf {//78} [BBT]

[TSR; 1987; 0880384573; $3.95] [BB]

• [Cause: MA.] Rating: 4 Result: MT Significance: - Description: 0 Saturation: 0. Good story with minimal transformation, though a transformation at the end is important for later books in the series. A good read that is unrelated to the first two Greyhawk books by Gary Gygax. -78

Greyhawk Adventures 4: The Price of Power {78/154/} [BBT]

[TSR; 1987; 0880384581; $3.95] [BB]

• [Cause: MA Result: AN.] Rating: 4 Result: MT Significance: + Description: + Saturation: +. A character changed into a wolf for the entire book. Also another who becomes a wolf for a brief period. Terrific scene when a father gets to react to his daughter's wolf transformation. -78
• Lycanthropy. -154

Greyhawk Adventures 5: The Demon Hand {/78/} [BBT]

[TSR; 1988; 0880385421; $3.95] [BB]

• [Cause: MA.] Rating: 3 Result: MT Significance: 0 Description: 0 Saturation: -. Mostly ties up loose ends from previous two books. A couple of transformations, and a good end to this part of the series. -78

[TSR; 1988; 0880386142; $3.95] [BB]
