Let \(M(b,d)\) be a prism manifold, where \(b\) and \(d\) are relatively prime integers. In the paper under review the authors discuss the finite groups of fibering isometries which act on \(M(b,d)\) and do not leave a Heegaard Klein Bottle invariant (that is, do not split). A prism manifold \(M(b,d)\) can be fibered in two distinct ways. One is said to have a longitudinal fibering, and the other one is said to have a meridian fibering. Let \(G\) be a fiber preserving action on \(M(b,d)\) and let \(G_{0}\) be the normal subgroup of \(G\) consisting of the isometries which leave every fiber invariant. Using the results in their previous paper [Kobe J. Math. 28, No. 1--2, 69--89 (2011; Zbl 1253.57011)], the authors show the following: If \(G\) preserves the longitudinal fibering and does not split, then \(M(b,d)= M(b,2)\) and \(G/G_{0}\) is isomorphic to one of \({\mathbf Z}_{3}, {\mathbf Z}_{6}, Dih({\mathbf Z}_{3})\) or \(Dih({\mathbf Z}_{6})\). If \(G\) preserves the meridian fibering and does not split, then \(M(b,d)= M(1,d)\) and \(G/G_{0}\) is isomorphic to one of \({\mathbf S}_{4}, {\mathbf A}_{5}\) or \( {\mathbf A}_{4}\). Computing all the finite group actions on a prism manifold \(M(b,2)\) (resp. \(M(1,d)\)) which preserve the longitudinal (resp. meridian) fibering induced by \(<pS^{1}>_{p\in {\mathbf S}^{3}}\) (resp. \(<S^{1}p>_{p\in {\mathbf S}^{3}}\)) on \(M(b,2)\) (resp. \( M(1,d)\)), and identifying those actions which do not split, they give the complete description of \(G\).
