Thoughts:

THIS REVIEW WILL CONTAIN ADULT CONTENT.
Things were going along really well. The Fusion was starting to fall
apart and that threatened the union between the Fusion and the
Disconnect against the AI threat. Michigan Long is now captain and
running her own ship. She has a friendship with one of the Fusion
leaders, the young girl they rescued back in the first book. When the
capital world of the Fusion falls to revolution, the young girl
becomes part of it to save her life, as she was one of the ruling
class.
Then the girl comes aboard the ship to touch base with Michigan and
her husband. She's helping run the new council, as she has some
experience, but she's definitely just staying ahead of mob rule. So
she's complaining about how inexperienced she feels and her biggest
complaint is that she is sexually inexperienced. Seriously. Trying to
run a world on a council that is just as likely to kill her as take
her ideas into consideration and she is thinking about how her sex
life is zero.
So Michigan offers to teach her and right there, kneels before her
husband and starts sucking him off. She then tells him to show the
girl what sex is like and watches as her husband has sexual
intercourse with the young woman. I believe I literally said out loud
“what the fuck” and closed my kindle in complete and utter
disgust.
I really don't know what to say. It wasn't erotic, it wasn't smutty.
Gallagher made sure to write in such a way that it wasn't explicit
but that the reader still knew exactly what he meant. But it was
revolting. It had no place in this story and it completely destroyed
everything. I don't know if Gallagher has ever written anything else
but I abandoned this with Extreme Prejudice and I'll never read
another word by him, or even CONSIDER reading anything by him.
