NorthPoint Station
A friendly alien-human romp through interstellar relations and finding that special someone.
Flynn “Red” Clarke is training as a translator for negotiations between Earth and a newly discovered alien race. On NorthPoint Station, the only link to the alien homeworld, he quickly finds a new friend in his playful alien counterpart as they perfect their touch-signing under the watchful eyes of the fearful Masters.
Together with the translation team, they must tame a terrifying force that separates humans and aliens, to ease tensions between the misinformation-riddled Earth and a skeptical alien race. And what about the Olmas, builders of NorthPoint Station and the wealthiest men in the Solar System? Is it all sweaty man-on-man fun in zero-G or is there a happy ending for Flynn in the offworld community of spacers and aliens?

I thought this would just be a light, fun summer read, but I was pleasantly surprised. Centered on the human team working on language with the first alien life form, reptilian and resembling snakes. There were interesting scientific bits thrown in as well as bits of humor. There were even some semi-erotic scenes (between the humans, not inter-species. LOL). The book was a free download; I admit that's the only reason I read it, but now I'm glad I did.

This is a great book.
Yes, there is gay sex, but it's only a small part of the whole story, and the least believable (really? ALL handsome men are gay?)
The only minus point I see is the less than satisfactory ending. It switches from SF to contemporary political problems in about two pages, and then tells (with little "show" and no action from the protagonist) depressing events of several months, followed by a hurried happy ending.
Since it's free at Amazon (at the moment) nothing speaks against trying it out.

Very creative, fun, well written
Good story telling. A fun read for those looking to explore space fantasy with a touch of romance. A political theme runs through the book, but enhances the story rather than ruin it.

From the blurb, I expected something different. But it was a fun read, with interesting world building. Could have been longer.
