These Lawless Worlds (The Love Machine #1)

This novel, based on the cover art, title and tag line, appears to be a harmless enough, if trashy, sci-fi novel. Some might describe the tale as total trash and young men, and women, might find it to be their wildest dreams in print. Mr. Comstock, who has no internet persona that I could find, has succeeded in writing a novel with more smut than one of the Gor series, which stay within the definition of soft-core. If works of fiction had a rating system, as movies do, this book would be rated X.

The plot is well written, the story is part Star Wars as written by Craig Shaw Gardner and part Law & Order featuring I-Robot written by Henry Miller. But, it is hard to imagine that the creative plot scenes where written by the same writer as the more adult content. Im willing to bet that the whole affair was probably written by committee. The book was a fun and unexpected side trip from my usual and much less sexy reading material.
