5.0 out of 5 stars Oh Captain, My Captain May 31 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This collection of short stories is a must read for one reason: the central novella, "Oh Captain My Captain." I liked the other stories, but this story is simply delicious. A young startrooper signs on for a deep space voyage with the mysterious Captain Drake, who has...needs. The needs are fulfilled in Zero G and just about every other place on the ship...except in the Captain's quarters where the secret to Drake's nature is hidden. I think this may be Katherine Forrest's most erotic writing.

5.0 out of 5 stars A vital addition to any library collection focusing on gay and lesbian fiction Oct 9 2009
By Midwest Book Review - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
A good story can do far more than simply entertain. "Dreams and Swords" is the story of homicide detective Kate Delafield under the pen of Katherine V. Forrest. An acclaimed lesbian fiction writer, included is her work of 'O Captain, My Captain' giving this mystery added value. Drawing from many elements, "Dreams and Swords" is a vital addition to any library collection focusing on gay and lesbian fiction.

1.0 out of 5 stars Bleh April 18 2011
By karistim - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This collection of stories is not worth your time. The best of the bunch is the Kate Delafield story and that was bland as well.

But, to each her or his own.
