Solid sci-fi fiction - with sex! What's not to like?!
By Alison
I love sci-fi but as a (straight) woman, I find most "classic" sci-fi is horribly chauvinistic. I didn't know what to expect from this retro underground hit, but with copies selling for over $100, I was intrigued. Gay sci-fi?! Why not! (I'm a huge fan of Anne Rice's “Lestat” books.) This is a solidly good erotic romance in a sci-fi setting, rated “R,” not “X.” Not much space ship science in it, but there’s the theme of “AI” and the birth of consciousness; not a lot of women in it but at least the women aren’t just “eye candy” bimbos like they are in most retro sci-fi (there’s one sexy nurse but at least she’s hiding a gun in her boobs). I absolutely fell in love with all of the characters! George Nader is wonderfully descriptive. I found the character names a bit cheesy, but you can easily overlook that after you've been sucked into their passion and enslaved by it. I read this book in 2 days, I couldn't put it down!
SPOILER ALERT! I have to admit, I was a bit confused by Part 1 of the story. I was expecting adventure in space with a human and robot. What I got was delicious smut about two guys lounging by a pool in the desert, one of them getting daily massages, eventually ending in seduction. I was hooked on Chrome's suspicions of Vortex being a robot, and I was not entirely convinced he was one; Vortex seemed like a socially awkward bionic loner. But he is a robot! And his plan for their escape together goes horribly wrong. I was shocked that a major character was killed off in the first third of the book, and then shocked further that Chrome was also a robot! Gasp!
Part 2 is where the real sci-fi comes in. You have the underlying story of planetary conflict – the political conflict of Earth’s government trying to negotiate with Vortex, who is not only alive and a robot, but the extraterrestrial leader from a technically advanced warrior planet. You have the failure of mankind to protect Earth from becoming a post-apocalyptic wasteland that must be stewarded by aliens smarter than us. You have humans living in fear of robots, wondering what their artificial intelligence is capable of, and mad scientists working to figure it out and manipulate what they know. Do robots deserve freedom to procreate? Will Chrome ever see his children? Will Chrome ever be reunited with his true love Vortex? Can his growing group of loyal friends triumph to free him? There are some interesting plot twists, the descent into madness of Mother Trenter, a suicide bombing, and finally, a happy reunion between Chrome and Vortex.
I love a happy ending, however, this one left me wanting more. It’s too bad George Nader didn’t write a sequel because he left open so many doors to other stories. What becomes of Chrome’s children? How did artificial intelligence in the robots progress over generations? Do humans accept the robots? Do the humans ever become as caring and as “human” as the robots? Do humans ever rise above their petty need for power and heal the Earth? And we never find out much about the other aliens that are introduced. Does Vortex come from a planet of all cybernetic robo-humanoids? How do they reproduce in the absence of females? If Chrome was always one of them, how could Earth’s government justify keeping him prisoner and why would Vortex allow Chrome’s imprisonment for as long as he did?
Perhaps all George Nader intended was a sweet semi-pornographic romp in space – Chrome had many “lovers” and some scenes played out like a bad porno – such as the obviously gratuitous inclusion of a helicopter bondage scene. But, wow, did Nader develop a solid back-story for this sexy romp! His book offers many points of discussion for anyone’s book club. I obsessively read “The Lords of Kobol” book series by Edward T. Yeats III (the story of Cylons before Battlestar Galactica) and if you loved the sex and political intrigue in “Kobol,” and the stories of Robert Silverberg, you’ll enjoy George Nader’s “Chrome.” It has just become one of my favorites in my collection.

hybrid
By Furio
This book is most strange. Part a gay romance, part hard s-f, part philosophy.
Curiously enough, it is the gay romance the least accomplished part. The author's intent was probably to stress how the love between Chrome and Vortex is inevitable. Well, to do so, he goes on describing undescribable emotions and on the long run, he gets sticky.
The two other parts are interesting enough: the world depicted here is particularly depressing, a kind of oligarchy whose only interest is to deprive people of what makes them different from each other and valuable. The only possible way out for the main hero is to escape Earth, a sort of metaphysical death.
The writing is professional, the author is particularly good at descriptions of locations. The story is slow but stirs emotions anyway.
Not a masterpiece, a pleasant read.

WHY IS THIS BOOK OUT OF PRINT?!
By SF RAGE
I agree with Jeffrey H.: Buy it! First of all, it's a hoot that George Nader wrote this -- he was one of the hottest young stars in Hollywood in his day. But he's a very good writer, too. I paid a lot of money for this tome, but it was worth every cent. I couldn't put it down. Besides an intriguing premise, the futuristic view he puts forth is cool simply because of the date it was written (1978). I have to say that Chrome is one of the most interesting, appealing and sensuous characters I've come across. He slips out of the story for a while; all I could think about was his return. The book's a charming and bold relic of its time and I can't recommend it higly enough. My regret is that Nader didn't write a sequel.
BUT IT!
