Brilliant and fascinating. The transformations are accomplished
through a mutation process called "catabolism." The body destroys
and remakes itself.
....excruciating, messy, and very convincing. And the results can
be difficult to impossible to control, so there's almost no way of
telling what will happen once "change" is initiated. Wow.
Just as intriguing is the Morphodite's ability to detect crucial
links in conspiracies and events and then "take out" or influence
those links. For instance: steal the president's top advisor's next
door neighbor's girlfriend's dog..... and bring down the president!
Makes you wonder.
One point: (SPOILER!!)
There are transformations in "The Morphodite" and the second book
"Transformer," but none in the third book "Preserver."

I am surprised there are no reviews on this series - it is worth
reading for its pure content of GC and consequences that follow -
as this is the MAIN STORY LINE. Not to spoil the story, let me be
brief: there is a genetic experiment (IN A NEAR AND UNCERTAIN
FUTURE) on a person to allow her/im to change gender, but she/he
escapes. The three books take you on a roller coaster ride where
this person (1) realizes the power she/he has, and (2) uses it to
elude detection. The gender change process is not magical or
mystical in nature, but extended and painful - the "main character"
is judicious in it's useage. Also, a novel touch = each change
regresses the character's age, so you as the reader see a large
portion of each life as a new sex. I liked the series - one of my
first exposures to GC in SF. Still available in used book stores,
look for it - buy it - enjoy. To my knowledge the writer never
returned to this theme in later books, so I guess he used up all
his ideas. Worth the read.

I own the original DAW paperbacks from the early '80s, but I
recently saw an omnibus version (from DAW) of the three novels in a
local Borders called "The Transformer Trilogy."
I definitely recommend the books. As noted before, the TG is mostly
in the first two parts (and is hinted at only in vague flashback in
the third). However, all three of the novels are very well written
and collectively tell a fascinating story.
