It's with guilty pleasure that I concede that this is probably my all around favorite book. I'm not saying it's a great work of literature, but since I first discovered the "Spaceways" series in 1983 this is the one I keep going back to year after year (I've nearly worn out my second copy). Fortunately it's also one of the easiest books in thie series to find. "Purrfect Plunder" is a delicious little hurt/comfort story involving the handsome rogue space pirate and slaver Capt. Jonuta and his newly aquired "catch," HReenee a female alien feline of the race HRal, who promises many exciting and delighting feline frolics - if he can get past her claws. Filled with enough action to keep you interestred between the scenes we're really there for, it also has enough angst for the modern reader who's grown up with Anne Rice and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." In the "Spaceways" series John Cleve (aka Andy Offitt) has managed to produce the strangest of hybrids, a really well written science fiction epic as broad in scope and exotically populated as Larry Niven's "Known Space" series, and as x-rated as any of the junk sex novels you'll find in an adult book store. Andy has shown the publishing world just how good an adult novel can get, and "Perrfect Plunder" is certinly as good as it gets. Andy's masterful descriptions are way beyond the repetitive and simplistic adult writings of Anne Rice, and his depictions of alien/human sex much more detailed and erotic than those of Mercedes Lackey or Larry Niven. Fortunate readers who love feline characters will find that HReenee is one cat that doesn't pussyfoot around (but Andy, why didn't you give her a tail?). Lisanne Norman and Larry Niven could both learn a lesson or two in feline sex from this book (Andy, if you're reading this, send me the outtakes! ). Buy it when you see it (the cover alone is worth the price) as it's not an easy book to find, then join with me in traveling the Spaceways-if you dare!

Furry space soft pr0n.


Or, if you are eight years old and pick this one up for 25c expecting cheesy SF, you will get that and perhaps a little more of a surprise, as well.

Basically your amorous flyboy style of novel adapted to a science fiction setting and kept somewhat tame, although note as tame as some of those.
