You didn't make an Adapted Man with just a wave of the wand. It involved an elaborate constellation of techniques, known collectively as pantropy, that changed the human pattern in a man's shape and chemistry before he was born. And the pantropists didn't stop there. Education, thoughts, ancestors and the world itself were changed, because the Adapted Men were produced to live and thrive in the alien environments found only in space. They were crucial to a daring plan to colonize the universe.
Industry Reviews
Several short- to longer- pieces concern the process of pantropy and its creation of Adapted Man who is sent to seed the planets. Sweency, who is one of them, goes to Ganymede to retrieve five others whose existence, along with his, is outlawed; again seed ships are used to colonize the watery world of Hydrot and its cycles of evolution are forecast; and in a third, Honath, condemned to Hell for heresy along with several others, make their escape through a primitive world of ?? and demons. A blend of prehistoric and futuristic vistas- for advanced tastes in this field. (Kirkus Reviews)
