You hear ‘powerful/dangerous man’ and you can be sure there will be rape. Alas, there it is, just for the fun of it. (not even important for the story)

This book might be a classic, but for me it’s so cliche and crude that I can’t find any enjoyment in it.

An absolute blast to read. The pace of this book is something to behold.

If you're interested in an old school sci-fi romp that feels like it could've been written yesterday, then here it is.
