Editorial Reviews

Product Description
"The Lovers" is one of the most controversial and groundbreaking novels in science fiction. Sent by the religious tyranny of a future Earth to the planet Ozagen, Hal Yarrow met Jeanette, an apparently human fugitive, hiding in ancient ruins built by a long-vanished race. Un-consecrated contact with any female was forbidden to Yarrow - and love for an alien female was an unspeakable abomination. But Yarrow's lifelong conditioning was no match for his strange attraction to Janette. "Flesh": The starship captain had made the mistake of landing on a forgotten planet colonised centuries ago by believers in ancient pagan rituals. Unless he could escape, he would be made part of a fertility rite which would conclude with a very unpleasant death. "Strange Relations": five novelettes of unbounded imagination telling of strange - and often deadly - encounters between human and alien. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

About the Author
Philip Jose Farmer is a pioneer of science fiction. His stories were the first to explore alien sexuality, love, religion, and mythology. He has won numerous awards, including three Hugo Awards and the World Fantasy Award, and has been named a Nebula Grand Master by the Science Fiction Writers of America. In a long and distinguished career, he has published over seventy novels and story collections. The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction has called him "perhaps the most impish and anarchic" of major science fiction writers.

--This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Early Farmer at is Very Best, March 1, 2006
By Paul Cook (Tempe, Arizona USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Strange Relations (Paperback)
This is a collection of three books, the novels THE LOVERS and FLESH and a loose collection of stories called STRANGE RELATIONS, one of which has a Father Carmody story. This handsome edition from Baen should be in everybody's library, everybody, that is, who claims to be a student of science fiction. Farmer was at his best when throwing humans up against alien races in sexual (or reproductive) situations. THE LOVERS, I think, stands as one of his very best novels overall. I had a lot of fun rereading these stories in this new edition. I highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Three groundbreaking works under one cover, April 19, 2006
This review is from: Strange Relations (Paperback)
Philip Jose Farmer is another name from the past strongly associated with powerful writing, and STRANGE RELATIONS is an excellent compendium of three of his groundbreaking works under one cover: THE LOVERS, FLESH, and STRANGE RELATIONS. A starship captain sent by Earth's religious rulers discovers a human fugitive hiding in an ancient ruins and finds love too strong to ignore, however illogical or forbidden. His adventures with his new love will change worlds.

4.0 out of 5 stars strange Relations, April 6, 2009
This review is from: Strange Relations (Paperback)
This book is for "old school" SF readers. If your younger than 40; you might find it unappealing.
