"In a universe of books where sword-and-sorcery fantasies fill the speculative fiction shelves, this futurist romp is a welcome throwback to the days of space ships rocketing through intergalactic adventures. Though there are several landfalls on exotic far-off planets, most of the action takes place on a military starship, where a Merculian couple - acclaimed interpretative dancer Eulio and his young lover Orasin - have been planted. They¹re hitching rides from planet to planet where Eulio is to perform, but their true purpose is to unmask the traitor who's been passing fleet movement secrets to the evil Troia - gotta love those imaginative SF-ian names! . . . . BLENDS FAST-PACED PLANET-HOPPING WITH LUSTY STORYTELLING to tell a tale of cloak-and-dagger political intrigue, all laced with a dash of intense S&M and infused, not at all out of place, with a passion for the art of dance an effete touch that mellows the adventure¹s harshly militaristic edge. The novel¹s alternate universe, with its smartly realized gender fluidity, engaging intersexual alternatives, and imaginative alien beings, is quite SATISFYING ESCAPIST FARE - A REAL PULP ADVENTURE." from: Book Marks - by Richard L
