Planet of the Creeps
Previously published as Planet of the Rapes by Walker Long
On this planet, women are bought and sold like property
Astronaut Olivia Freeh is desperate to repair her spacecraft and get back home. Before she can, however, Olivia is kidnapped, sold into slavery, and forced to serve the son of a wealthy businessman. Even worse, things here are not as they seem. Long-buried secrets from the planet’s past reveal the ultimate creep is frighteningly close to home.
Can Olivia escape this brutal patriarchy? Or will she do the most unexpected thing of all – fall in love?
If you enjoy steamy romance combined with science fiction adventure, are a mature adult, and believe rapists belong in prison not the White House, this story is for you. [74,000 words]

“Oh, you are not,” Liv growled.
She quickly scanned the area and saw a pile of old, steel pipe. She grabbed one about two feet long and charged out of the alley and across the street. In a matter of seconds, she crossed the open square and leaped onto the stage. The rapist heard her footsteps and started to turn around. He had just enough time to register an expression of surprise before she smashed the rusty pipe into his face.
The man dropped to the ground in a fetal position with his pants around his knees. Liv drew back to swing again, but he didn’t get up. She wasn’t even sure he was breathing—and wasn’t too worried one way or the other.

Wow!! Definitely don’t judge this book by the title!! It’s campy and something you could just hear the FMC yell in frustration!
This is the first book I’ve read by this author so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I loved it!
The FMC Olivia is absolutely brilliant! She’s worked hard to get to where she is in her career before being canned because she’s a woman. She’s been diligently fighting the patriarchy her whole life to gain respect and success! When she loses her job and gets the opportunity to pilot an aircraft from her past, she jumps at the chance.
I don’t like to give spoilers so let’s just say - from there it launches off into the sci-fi adventure of a lifetime!
I love all the characters. There’s some really great dialogue. I wasn’t expecting that main plot twist but yeah it might have been obvious to some.
I was extremely happy with the ending!
This book wasn’t really that dark. Depending on your trigger tolerance, you might not even find it dark. I thought it was adventurous and quirky! A great read!!

While I get where the author was going with this. A change in title would have been better perceived.

Great read!
I must admit the title made me giggle at first, then made a little reluctant, but after reading the blurb I was immediately interested and went straight to reading it.
I’m really glad I did!
Very enjoyable book. Love the science fiction world building, the erotic romance aspect, and the unique setting.
Highly recommend!

Absolutely fabulous,
This was an outstanding piece of work full of amazing adventure and steamy action. Wonderful world and character development to boot. Can’t wait for more.

I came across this book on Threads when many people were furious about the name and the fact that BookSirens refused to take it down.
I get why BookSirens didn't take it down, I also get why the author named it this; the book doesn't have much going for it after the initial shock of the name. It could have had an interesting sci-fi element, but the writing is still fairly immature.
Some examples;
"You have got to introduce me to this ravishing creature."
No one talks like that. Even if they're creepy.
"Liv went back to her locker and slipped on a pair of simple, gray cotton thong panties and matching bra."
Has the writer interacted with women or did they just want to make this ridiculous?
Shortly after this the MC, Liv, decides to run up to another person's office right from the changing room without putting more clothes on because she's so comfortable with her body.
The issue is that the book took itself too seriously while being stupid half the time. Yes, your MC can run half-naked into a person's office from the changing room if smut is the point of the book. But the book was focused on sci-fi. The cover is also a teenage guy's fantasy lead character.
Of course, because of the theme of slavery, you do see a lot of people have been assaulted. That being said, there are loads of books where we see slavery and assault and they aren't named this. The author attempts something more meaningful than just shock.
Sure, the book is about the worst that the current US president can lead us too, but that's not enough when the writing is mid.
Anyway, overall, not very happy with this read.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Not exactly my usual read, but an intriguing parallel earth story. The title is a misnomer, but somewhat understandable given the subject matter. Liv as a character was great. Modern world trying to get by in a man's world. But the idea of being fired by the military was too unrealistic. Transferred, yes, but unless she quit, it didn't make much sense plot wise. Duke being an asshat is completely logical, as is the idea that Sanjay, the Asia guy is the sweet, respectable one, though a bit stereotypical. The idea of earth moving backwards in the future, where women become property and sex objects is, unfortunately, a very real possibility, and Liv's reactions make sense.
My biggest objections were the lack of the other characters points of view. The reasoning behind the Bishop and the Church, Auric's need for power, even other women's point of view, like the rebellion would have deepened the story. In some ways, it really felt like 1890s Southern tale, but without the earth shattering reality. Also, given the title, you would think there'd be more sex scenes. There are not. The ones that are present are very sweet, but don't fully match the content. It's a great premise, but needs to delve deeper into this world and characters.

First off: This is much better than the title!
This is actually a good, enjoyable, (and not particularly dark) science fiction story with a cynical/satirical streak a mile wide!
No prizes for guessing the US president who inspired this funny (though often in a sad, wincing way) "What-if" tale.
It is obviously inspired by the films rather than the original book (though think "Charlton Heston" rather than "Andy Serkis" if you're looking for quote references) but has a strong (if slightly predictable) storyline.
As I mentioned above, it is a much more enjoyable read than the title alone would suggest (even though I can see why the author couldn't resist the temptation to go with it).

No. On so many levels. The profile was even a major read flag not to mention the horrible title and the forced political opinions and discrimination .
