Summary "His Master's Voice" by Randall Garrett is a science fiction novel written in the early 1960s. The story revolves around a highly advanced robot spaceship named McGuire and its complex development process amidst various political and corporate sabotages. The novel delves into themes of artificial intelligence, control, and the unpredictable nature of technology when mixed with human ambition and ethical dilemmas. The narrative follows Daniel Oak, a confidential expediter who inadvertently becomes the master of McGuire after it is activated. As Oak navigates the intricate workings of the robot and monitors its development, he is drawn into a web of conspiracies involving rival corporations aiming to sabotage Viking Spacecraft's innovative project. Oak encounters challenges in communicating with McGuire due to the robot's unique programming, which only recognizes him by his specific voice. As the plot unfolds, tensions rise, revealing deeper issues surrounding corporate greed and robotic control, all while Oak struggles to regain authority over the intelligent machine he has been thrust to command. Ultimately, the book explores the relationship between humans and their creations and raises questions about responsibility and the unpredictable consequences of scientific advancements.
