Quote:You mean that scene with the girl main character and that evil guy, late in the book, or is there another one I'm forgetting?
No, that's the one. I'm pretty sure it's also the ONLY one, which kind of adds to the whole thing coming out of nowhere and being such a shock.
When I think about sex scenes in mainstream scifi/fantasy, one of the first books that comes to mind is The Demon Awakens by R.A. Salvatore, it also had a rape scene [or near rape scene, can't remember now which]. There's a few others I can think, although I think they're probably tamer than that example.
Oh, there's also the later Rama books by Gentry Lee, but the less said about those the better.
Sometimes you get the scorpion.
