'With its references to DeSade, Plato and Jack the Ripper, this  is a 
fully realized culture, utterly strange and utterly believeable, as 
might be expected from the author of 'The Fifth Head of Cerberus''
- - Algys Budrys, review of 'Shadow of the Torturer', The Magazine of 
Fantasy and Science Fiction vol.58 no. 5 May 1980.

As I became bored of de Sade (!), am ignorant of Plato, and just 
plain confused by Ripperology, where are these references? Wouldn't 
it be fun if we teased them out?
