Phyllis Gotlieb is perhaps the most important Canadian SF writer of the past four decades. Flesh and Gold is a novel worthy of comparison to the fiction of James Tiptree, Jr. A mature alien woman judge sees an amphibious human woman, obviously a slave, displayed in a tank in front of a sex palace. And so an interstellar plot of murderous proportions involving many races and planets, galactic corporations, exploitive sex and horrible slavery is revealed.

"Overinvolved but unflinching with a splendid array of aliens, motives, and perversions."

Kirkus, 11/15/1997

"[The novel's] denouement relies upon something of a deux ex machina. While this might have ruined a lesser novel, Gotleib presents her trick-of-the-tail so gracefully that it appears to be as much impediment as intervention. Those who glory in poetic phrasings for their own sake may wax rhapsodic, while the rest of us will remember 'Flech and Gold' as ambitious, if occasionally overwrought."
