I don´t really think Science Fiction and porn is a good match. The story was readable, but the sex scenes totally ridiculous and unnecessary. Does it make science fiction that someone is trapped in a laser cage? Full of cliché really. A romance novelist just placed the story in space. I don´t know if that makes it science fiction. Maybe I rated it too high… but I don´t like to give mean scores. After all, someone has spent a whole lot of time and trouble writing this.
