5.0 out of 5 stars Four books with interesting viewpoints
Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2013
Verified Purchase
There are four (4) books in the "Lords of the Diamond" series, all of which are not only entertaining, but also have a buried commentary on possible future civilization, penal systems, and the human condition in general. This is the second of the series. As such, while it can be read as a stand-alone, it is much more enjoyable when all four books are read as a series and in order.

Though the series is now 20 years old, and not written in the style of modern science fiction, it is still enjoyable for all age brackets. For those of us who are 'older' fans, the style and content reflect the science fiction we grew up reading. As such, fans of 'cyber punk' and modern themes may not enjoy it, but it is still worthy of reading and as a reflection of how the genre has changed since the original days of "Astounding" and such magazines.

4.0 out of 5 stars Right in Line with the 1st Book of the Series
Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2014

Jack L. Chalker's "Cerberus: A Wolf in the Fold" holds no surprises (assuming you've read the first book, "Lilith: A Snake in the Grass"). For all intents and purposes, the writing is the same. The interesting thing here is the comparison of how the protagonist's character changes against his baseline in a technological world (Cerberus) vs in a pastoral world (Lilith). Just like the first book, it's a nice, easy, fast-paced read. I rate the book at a Very Good 4 stars out of 5.

The books in Jack L. Chalker's "Four Lords of the Diamond" series are:

1.  Lilith: A Snake in the Grass (The Four Lords of the Diamond Book 1)
2.  Cerberus: A Wolf in the Fold (The Four Lord of the Diamond Book 2)
3.  Charon: A Dragon at the Gate (The Four Lord of the Diamond Book 3)
4.  Medusa: A Tiger by the Tail (The Four Lord of the Diamond Book 4)

Introduced to this author in high school in the mid 80’s. One of the best in my opinion. Through out the years, this series in particular continues to captivate me! It’s timeless! Any fan of Sci-fi will be hooked, not only on this series but his may others. Give him a try you won’t be disappointed!

4.0 out of 5 stars Far Fetched, but fun
Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2013

The hardened assassin continues his task of dealing with the Four Lords of the Diamond while using another's body so as not to be affected by the Warden organism. Are the surrogates, who are affected by the Warden organism, beginning to have an impact on him, even tho they are clones of his mind?

Here is well written science fiction that develops plausible story line and consistent behavior within the constraints of the world in which the story takes place. Body switching could be a little creepy, and occasionally difficult to follow, but in the end, it all makes sense, in its own way.

One question lingers: Just what is the role of the friendly psychiatrist?

One of four books that just keep better as you go. You could call it a sci -fi detective novel and be very close to truth. The four books have a great cumulative effect as they go. Give a try you"ll be glad you did
