This review is from: Rensime (Sime/Gen Series, # 6) (Paperback)
When I picked up the first Sime-Gen book in 1973 it really spoke to me. Despite the cover artwork, it wasn't just some slashy teen sci-fi popcorn paperback. Every book spoke to me of the differences in the human condition, and the struggle to come to terms with those differences. The parallels it drew... the Simes versus the Gens. Predator & prey. Of how there could be a peaceful solution to the often violent clash of the usual power-struggles. The erotic undercurrent of need, the surprise of finding compassion & understanding where there's usually fear & hatred... and the all-too often fatal consequences of prejudice. These were issues then and now, and this book talked about them intelligently in a science-fiction setting. I see the present civil-rights struggles of GLBT people today reflected in the pages of the Sime-Gen series. And I can't wait to share my copies of those wonderful books with my own daughter.
