The sex stuff is making this book less and less readable. The only storyline I'm still enjoying is the robot pals exploring Mars with the morphopathic alien guys

A couple of great quotes to showcase Simmons’ talent. This is a sci-fi retelling of the Iliad, and one of the narrators is a (clearly self-insert) Iliad scholar. About Helen:
“I’m getting too old to stay awake so long, especially after making love three times to the most beautiful and sensual woman in the world.”
“So these are the boobs that launched a thousand ships, I thought”
Aaaahahahahahahahahaha
