- [Result: BX/IN/MU.] One of the characters, the
Steel General, sometimes has a flesh body, sometimes a metal body. Another character has
his enemies' consciousness transferred (with full sensory equipment) into household items
such as rugs, ashtrays and fireplaces. An oracle machine is actually a cyborged woman.
Many characters have adopted the identities of Egyptian gods, and had their bodies
modified to match. (Is that enough transformations?) -77
[Avon; 1989; 0380705672, $3.50] [BB]
- [Result: LY.] ...Has a lycanthropy one, but no
name comes to mind other than I know it has nothing to do with Amber... -24
- The Zelazny book you're looking for (the one with lycanthropy) is A Dark
Travelling. A minor work, but fun to read. -62
- The main character is a werewolf, but it's mostly just for window dressing to the story.
Forgettable. -87
[SFBC]
- [Cause: AS.] This is likely stretching things
a bit. But there is a device in here that inverts things in any number of senses of the
word. Also the alien cops hide undercover as local fauna (definitely not their regular
form). -99
[Baen; 1990; 0671698745; $3.50] [BB]
- [Cause: AS Result: MT.] A therapist uses a
device to share and shape the dreams of his patients. He uses it to show a blind woman
what it's like to see, but her strong will sometimes overpowers his and controls the dream
instead. -Ph

[Ace; 1984; 0441515126; $?] [BB] (96/10/15)
- [Result: BM.] The protagonist is involuntarily
transformed (the first time probably only in a dream, but later for real) into a creature
from a parallel universe. -131
[Del Rey; 1994; 0345345150; $4.99] [BB]
- A man travels the highway which travels through time, looking for something he doesn't
know for sure. He feels like he is on the edge on a transformation, but he isn't sure how
to accomplish the final stage. Meanwhile, he gets in an argument with someone. This enemy
sends assassins to kill him, which acts as a catalyst. (See Spoiler Section for more information)

[Baen; 1989; 0671698486; $3.95] [BB]
- This may be the title Sam Bullard couldn't remember for your list. It's been a long time
since I read it, but I seem to remember that much of humanity had transformed through
radioactive mutation into all manner of legendary beastie; wolfmen (though not true
lycanthropes), centaurs, satyrs, etc. -50
- SF; Rating: 3 Result: BX(various) Significance: -
Description: - Saturation: -. Hugo winner; didn't do anything special for me, though
it wasn't bad either. Transformations are very incidental. -11
