Incoherent Science Fiction, Feb 27 2002
By AliGhaemi - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: PHYLUM MONSTERS (Mass Market Paperback)
Phylum Monsters begins with an interesting premise. The year is 2345 (in that order) and genetic engineering has yielded a population of varied and designer beings aiding, abetting and living as and with humanity.It could get interesting.
Instead the book weaves through a hodgepodge of Martian rock entities, 2 Pontiffs, modern primitives in Arkansas, a harem in Africa, 'Southworld' savages... with a long dead beauty and regression in the genetic creatures.
There's more, but why confuse anybody!
Phylum Monsters has little in the way of coherence or logic to recommend it to potential readers.

Anarchy has never been so much fun!, Mar 29 2002
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: PHYLUM MONSTERS (Mass Market Paperback)
The hero of this book, Robert Clayborn, may well be the only sane person left in the universe. "Phylum Monsters" is a delightful odyessy through a future world that offers something for just about anyone... however nuts "anyone" might be.We know we're in for a bizarre ride from the start as Clayborn takes the witness stand in a preposterous multibillion dollar lawsuit over genetically engineered bugs, fungus and, oh yes, people. From there, we zip through an anarchic plot that ties together deevolution, an American state locked in the 19th century, omniscient martians as personal appliances, more third world lunatics than you can shake a martian rock at, and the alleged reincarnation of Abraham Lincoln. A silly, stimulating brain teaser supreme.
