Review: Better without the Sex
Rating: 3 out of 5

The author has done a good job with a variation on the android hero theme. The plotlines are good, the characters well drawn, and the science is presented in a credible way. The weakness of the series - I've read two of the books - is the continuous insertion of lesbian sex scenes throughout the story, often in places where it causes the story line to stumble. I have no issue with an author inserting sex into a story - lesbian or otherwise - it can make the characters better defined if its done well; its just that I find entirely too much of it in the Aneka Jansen books, and after a while it begins to detract from the main story.I may still read more of the books, as I like the way Teasdale spins a yarn and find several of the characters easy to identify with. Maybe just a little less sex in future novels, Niall? Or vary it with some heterosexual stuff?
