I'm several chapters into Songmaster and I'm not seeing anything obviously sexual in there yet as another poster was implying. Maybe later on in the book. I like the story, it's beautifully written, the characters seem very real. I also read Ender's Game and liked it very much. I don't know how this could be the same person who's views I found so offensive when he guested on the Rusty Humphries radio show a few years back, but I can look beyond that and be grateful for the gift of his writing.
