Book Review By Will B.
Lovelock by Orson Scott Card

Humanity has finally figured out how to get guilt-free slavery: By making genetically enhanced animals to work for them. Lovelock, an enhanced monkey, begins to resent the psychological programming that forces him to be loyal to his master, (and that prevents him from ever being allowed to have sex). He decides to rebel, and the human authorities react by making plans to destroy him.
