Genre Fiction Q&A’

I’m looking for a fiction book of the romance genre that deals with HIV/AIDS?


It can be from the POV of the person who has it or from the other person. I want to read about something that deals at least a little with the fear of beginning a relationship with someone who is positive…Doesnt matter whether its a gay or a straight couple. But nothing about third world countries, please.

Who is the best, current, writer in the Science Fiction Genre?


OK, it’s opinion time, but first, a few caveats:

1) Nobody who is dead or retired. We all love Asimov and Heinlein, but I am trying to find out peoples opinions on recent, current authors

2) No non-genre authors. Please restrict answers to writers of Science Fiction (i.e. no horror, fantasy, or surrealists please).

3) I am not looking for sales figures (you can have a favorite author who is not a best seller and recommend them), so do not justify your answer with “his books sell well”.

That being said, I will provide my personal sample answer:
Simon R. Green: stylistically he is one of the best and most interesting writers in the genre today
