Main Lesbian Character |
|
Category: Science fiction
Summary: I'm not sure there is a single heterosexual in the book. The main female lead has an affair w/a woman. Most of the men are bi, if not gay (you only see most of them having relationships with other men, but you never know). Everyone's sexuality seemed pretty darn fluid. Besides that, the politics were interesting.

Breakaway (2007)
|
|
|
Shepherd, Joel
| |
| * |
Major Bi Character |
|
Category: Tough Women
Summary: This is the sequel to Crossover and is an utterly tedious read. My comments in Crossover about the prose apply here, except I think they rushed this one to press without the final editing stage. As for the lesbian content, you find out pretty much right away, in a scene that was so awful that I cringed while reading it, that Cassandra is 100% heterosexual. Vanessa, however, is bi, so the book goes on the list. I'm guessing more Cassandra Kresnov novels are forthcoming; you won't be seeing them here.

Major Bi Character |
|
Category: Bioengineering
Summary: Cassandra Kresnov is an artificial human, a super soldier who has defected from the League and who just wants to live life as a normal person in the Federation. But she's found out and gets embroiled in deadly politics. Vanessa Rice is a SWAT lieutenant who starts falling for Cassandra. Will Cassandra give women a try? Overall the book is a little amateurish. It doesn't get interesting until a good 30 pages in. It's heavy on discussions about politics and ethics and gets redundant and overbearing. The author uses a lot of present day terms and technologies which I found unconvincing on a planet in another solar system several hundred years in our future ("rock music, "phone, "mi crowave"). I suspect the editor/publisher might be new to SF. But despite these flaws, I was able to get into the story and the characters. A sequel is due out in 2007 (Breakaway), which I'll probably buy, if only to see whether or not Cassandra and Vanessa get together.

|
Spencer, Wen
| |
| *** |
Major Bi Character, Gay/Female World |
|
Category: Fantasy
Summary: In this tale of boy meets girl(s), gender roles are flipped. In this world that is reminiscent of the US Wild West, women are in charge, and men are kept at home to cook, clean, and take care of the children. The ratio of men to women is on the order of 1 to 10, so men are rare and precious and are closely guarded against kidnappers. It's a good read, like all of Spencer's novels. One of Jerin's new wives alludes to a past relationship with another woman.
