Re. Susan Matthews' book, "An Exchange of Hostages", Jeff Miller wrote: I read it, and was intrigued enough to buy (and not yet read) the second in the series. The story has little if any Lupine influence, IMO, especially since Matthews seems to get off on horrid descriptions of torture, a touch that Wolfe leaves out IIRC.
an okay read, but not crucial.
Thank you, Jeff. Another list member wrote to me off-list and commented:

- It is fairly well written.
- It is very much anti-Lupine.
- It is perfectly horrid S/M porn with sci-fi trappings.
Oh well, I did ask...
Anyway, a consensus seems to be emerging. It really does sound rather horrid, and, personally, I don't think that I'll bother reading it.
