4 1/2 starsChalk has written an creative and interesting story. Not what you'd expect from the title - erotica only surrounding the story but not really detailed within. The Meat Market is a short, quick and quite entertaining read. It is a typical sci-fi, set in the future, with futuristic devices and abilities, and space colonies, some of which are still reminiscent of life on 20th century Earth, but a not-so-typical mesh of genres that makes this book unique. The main character is a kick-"a" kind of guy with a heart, and royal blood to boot. The Meat Market lives up to its subtitle as there is a lot of adventure to be had within its pages, its fast moving and has  action galore with the main character always running toward the danger instead of away from it. The concept is original and the story engaging.I had problems with logic gaps (for example, three-month olds that didn't cry, didn't need diapers and who could walk) and the over abundant use of the "f" word by the main character, and for the most part, only him (a person of royalty with the mouth of a gangster), still I found it a good read and would recommend it to others.Enjoyable.
