Review: Untouchable, by LV Lloyd

February 26, 2016 by scott

I just finished a book I’d been planning to read for a long time – LV Lloyd’s “Untouchable”. It’s a space opera, and the fifth book in Lloyd’s Aurigan series. It’s also the first full-length book I have read by Lloyd. I really enjoyed the book. In a nutshell, it’s about several “oms” (Aurigan parlance for homosexual) on the patrol ship Qatar. The story opens with a bang – with one of them on trial for raping a minor, the son of his best friend. Then it spins back to the situation that resulted in the trial, and off we … Read more

Review: Credence

February 1, 2016 by scott

I’m a huge fan of science fiction, but it’s rare that you get a good science fiction story that features a gay man in any meaningful way.

However, we ask that writers participating in reader chats avoid using the chats as a place to promote their own work (ie: please do not day “in my own book, Catywumpus, I talk about this very topic…” Thanks! Our inaugural reader topic comes from QSFer Richard Wood: As a reader rather than author I am interested in reviews and critiques. With ebooks and “Print on demand” publishers it has become almost … Read more

Review: Lore & Logos, by Matthew P. Buscemi

August 30, 2015 by scott

I came to this book in kind of a round-about way. Matt is one of our newer folks in the Queer Sci Fi group, and he posted this one a few weeks ago on a Me Me Monday. The cover is soooo NOT sci fi – but there’s a reason for that – you’ll just have to read the Acknowledgement. We ended up talking a bit online, and he offered to send me a copy. Great, I thought, another eBook to throw on the stack. But Matt surprised me – he’s kind of old school, and really likes printed books … Read more
