4.0 out of 5 stars Great action novel by author of "The Harrad Experiment", December 26, 2007

The Zolotov Affair is Robert Rimmer's great and bold novel of a golden age of sex. A scientific genius named Horace Zolotov believed the greatest power on earth was gold, and he had the know-how to test his belief. A fantastic girl named Marge Wentworth claimed it was sex, and she had the body to back up her claims. When these two teamed to produce the theory and practice of sexenomics, they set out to make the world stand up and take notice.
The recurring theme in all or almost all of Rimmer's writing was a criticism of the assumption of monogamy as a societal norm. All the protagonists in his novels discover that they are happier in arrangements which would nowadays be called "polyamorous" or "polyfidelitous." They explore various ways of organizing life, through laws or other means, to facilitate such relationships. Though the books clearly have a point of view and an agenda, they work because Rimmer knew how to tell a story in a way that holds a reader's interest.

This review is from: The Zolotov Affair (Paperback)

This book will only be of interest to fans of RHR's books. It is only tangentially related to the Harrad Experiment which it precedes. Still, it is a good read and may be of interest to those now looking at gold as a good money management or investment tool.
