| 1970's science fiction- book title help Read a book in the 70's: main character was a quadriplegic fitted with new leg(s) in an aquatic environment. A characters included a whale that was retrofitted to convey people and various cargo. This was early in my sci/fi reading adventures and the book was tossed with other books by a parental unit. Can anyone help with the title, etc? Would appreciate any help,,,,Tx. Sader. |

| Re: 1970's science fiction- book title help Oddly, the title which comes to mind is Roger Zelazny's The Doors of His Face, the Lamps of His Mouth, but I really don't think this is the one you're remembering.... |

| Re: 1970's science fiction- book title help Definately The Godwhale. The first chapter is called Larry Dever, Hemihuman IIRC. Interesting far future earth eco-SF, well worth reading even if the scientific detail of the prose is slightly irritating at times. The godwhale is a plankton harvesting blue whale/robot cyborg. |

| Re: 1970's science fiction- book title help Why does the Godwhale keep coming up again and again in these "Help, I'm trying to remember the name of a book" threads? Not just on this forum. |
