Masters of the Sex Gates Paperback – April 16, 2003

4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars 9 ratings

Masters of the Sex Gates is the highly anticipated sequel to the mindblowing novel, The Sex Gates. Earth is changed forever when the Sex Gates arrive. By passing through a gate, you can change your sex or cure an incurable illness -- but each passage carries a price. What will the ultimate price be? Outside, the demonstrators shouted and shook their fists. Most of them were convinced there was a trick to successfully making successive passages, a trick that we Seconders selfishly kept to ourselves. That made us evil in their eyes. If such a secret did exist, it would be extremely valuable. The wealthy would gladly sacrifice a fortune to gain effective immortality. And to make that immortality fun, you could change your sex whenever you got bored and enjoy swinging both ways. For a Seconder, it was as easy as walking through one of the ubiquitous sex gates. But there was no secret to sell, and nothing we could tell this mob would appease it. Neither Rita nor I had any idea why we could pass through the gates safely while others vanished if they made the attempt.

This was good but not as good as Sex Gates (5 stars for that one!) It's still an enjoyable fast read. It does seem to get off topic a little about halfway through but get's back on track.

I'm am definitely going to read the sequel.

Series overall is highly recommended.

Fun, good story, entertaining characters, great pacing...what I look for in sci fi. (Yes, I can say the same for almost all my reviews. I read, especially sci fi, to be entertained. When my basic criteria are met I am happy)

Authors Darrell Bain and Jeanine Berry have succeeded admirably in this gripping sequel to their bestselling novel, THE SEX GATES. The mysterious sex gates have changed the world of the not too distand future; destabilizing governments and religions alike, and rocking the fabric of society as never before. Now, people have grown suspicious of "Seconders," individuals like our hero/heroine Jackson Lee (Li) Stuart, who have the ability to go through the sex gates repeatedly without vanishing. You see, the sex gates have the power to cure disease and restore youth, but always change the sex of those who pass through them, and they rarely allow follow-up trips. The Seconders, then, have essentially found the secret to immortality. Repeat passage through the gates also brings out greater intelligence and telepathy in the Seconders. Lee(Li) must discover the secrets of the gates before jealous, hate-fueled mobs fall upon and destroy the Seconders. He/she must chance as many trips as possible to find and contact the mysterious Masters of the gates and win their help, but first he/she must travel hundreds of miles across a world slipping into chaos. The authors, one male, one female, ingeniously sue their own gender differences to provide truly believable viewpoints for their likable and quirky characters. A wonderful blend of sci-fi, sexuality and sociology, makes this book a delight. Enjoy it, I know I did!

More of the same, as the trilogy concludes. If you have read the others, you know what to expect, with a bit more of an emphasis on what is going on. The friends and protagonists are mastering their powers, finding out what is going on, and having sex not quite as often, at least on page, anyway.

What a great book! I'm an avid science fiction reader and this book is something that I've never really explored before. I love Heinlein and this is very Heinlein-esque. Having both a male and female author gives a very realistic perspective when telling the story from a male or female point of view. Heinlein tried to capture this in "I Will Fear No Evil", but, of course, being male, couldn't really envision what it was like to be a woman. If men & women could experience what it would be like to go through life as a member of the opposite sex, this world would be a very different place. Also, the characters were very well written. They were human, with human foibles and problems, but likeable. They were the kind of people that it would be fun to know.
