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!
