Argo by Rick Griffin

kitsuneheart's review

4.0

A sci-fi novel with a suitable mind-fuck ending. Mira is a creator of ani-droids, robot servants made to look like animals. At first, the presence of animal creatures seems rather arbitrary, a quirk of a furry author, but reasons are eventually given: human-like androids had once been made, but their ability to blend in with humanity was deemed dangerous, and all androids were required to be non-human, to protect their creators. When we learn this, it's obvious that a human-droid will feature in the story, but by the time it appeared, I hadn't guessed its form in the slightest.

Perhaps not a draw for most sci-fi readers, but fans of Griffin's Housepets would be well-served to add this to their collection.
