Bayley and his only sequel (to 1974's The Soul of the Robot). The book continues the story of Jasperodus, who is now in conflict with Gargan, a ruthless robot attempting to make his own soul. Literary significance and receptionRhys Hughes described the Jasperodus series as slighter than average for Bayley, covering ground more thoroughly explored in John Sladek's Roderick series.[1] Similar opinions were expressed by John Clute in The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction.[2]Brian Stableford said that since the novel builds on the themes of The Soul of the Robot, it was less inventive than much of Bayley's work but "still a delight to read."[3]References1. ^{{cite web |url = http://www.uri.edu/artsci/english/clf/n6_a3.html |title = Annihilation Factotum: The work of Barrington J.
