Summary: The third "Valor" novel. Huff's writing really draws you in. Kerr is awesome. Kerr herself has a male partner, but one of the female recruits has a crush on her. One nice thing about this universe is that one's sexual preferences are of no concern to anyone.

Invisible Borders (1991)
|
|

|
Koch, Polly
| |
| * |
Main Bi Character |
|
Category: Science fiction
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

Thats why she cant 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.
