Commentary

Interesting slashy, trashy, hard sf books that explore power relationships, war, politics, slavery or indentured servitude, torture, military life, rape, class, masculinity (IMHO from a feminist perspective; showing what happens when you look at patriarchy vs. individual 'nice men'; damage done to men under patriarchy)--Liz Henry 00:01, 21 April 2007 (PDT)
