The R-Masters

Gordon R. Dickson

V/G to LIKE NEW DJ, LIKE NEW BOOK. 1973 J. B. Lippincott hardcover Gordon R. Dickson (Dorsai!). A repressively benevolent bureaucracy, intent on limiting and harnessing the effects of an IQ-boosting drug known as R-47, is thwarted by an underground led by an R-Master, latest of the drug-produced supergeniuses. Our hero's apolitical to start with but his chemically expanded perspective reveals the flaws in his superficial utopia. Energetically suspenseful, though the intriguing premise of an intelligence-enhancing drug might have been more fully developed.--Kirkus
