Kadrey, Richard    

Category: Science Fiction
Summary: The writing was okay, but the plot frustrated me because the main character kept doing stupid things again and again. Anyway, he's in a 3-way relationship with two women which is how the book ended up in this collection. Note: I purchased it from amazon.co.uk.

Summary: If you like experimental fiction, read this. If you don't mind a book with no discernible plot, this one's for you. If you like books where in a single paragraph a character can be in two times and places with no explanation about how the two are connected or why you suddenly jumped from one to the other, you'll like this one. If you like books where the description goes on and on and on and nothing substantial ever happens, you might enjoy this. If you are like me, though, you'll hate it.

Category: Space opera
Summary: The main character, Jason, is a tough, powerful woman, the CEO of one of the biggest corporations in the galaxy. She’s also been known to steal gemstones for fun. That’s why she can’t resist a dangerous challenge made by one of her top business competitors from the planet New Crete. Jason appears to be bi. I suspect the author might be bi or gay because of a couple of people in her acknowledgments. Mostly I liked the book, but it has a lot of detailed description and I tend to prefer more action, less description.
