Tammy Jenkins, young heroine, is subjected to horror almost beyond human conception. In the opening pages, she is kidnapped and drugged—and awakens as a captive of one of the “Secret Masters,” a group of strange, power-mad, almost inhuman beings whose headquarters occupy a hidden island in the Caribbean. It takes Tammy a long time to discover exactly what the motives of the Secret Masters are, and in the meantime she undergoes many strange and shocking adventures. The world she has been abducted into is a weird and unreal one—but beneath the unreality is a terribly tangible threat to the future of human civilization as we know it.
Captive of the Lust Master will remind some readers of science fiction. We do not feel that it should be classified as such, but if so it should be included with the best works of Ray Bradbury or Arthur C. Clarke: thoroughly researched as to technical detail and possibility, with an important warning about the future of mankind as its foundation but also with a very genuine note of hope at the end. Hope, that is, if every reader takes it to heart and resolves to study his own humanity and that of his fellows as objectively and as sympathetically as possible. We are what we make ourselves, and the future of this planet will be what we make it. If there actually are Secret Masters lurking somewhere, let us not surrender the Earth to them!
