When Sci-fi and erotica collide, you have The Fermata. Baker's ingenious fifth novel, about a 35-year-old temp worker, Arno Strine, who stops time to act out elaborate sexual fantasies, is an X-rated Sci-fi fantasy that will delight, amuse, tintillate and arouse you. With sex toys such as the "Monasticon", shaped like a monk holding a vibrating manuscript, The Fermata is a work of a creative, and extremely lewd mind.
