John Varley is a sci-fi author that has always had great books with a multitude of different themes. I have yet to read a book of his that is not a page-turner.
I thought I remembered "Millenium" as having a great opening line...but I found that I no longer have the book. Browsing through his other works that I *do* still have, I found this one. It is crass compared to the other offerings here, but dammit now I have to read this book again:
