So, I just finished Crashcourse by Wilhelmina Baird. Good book, had my buttons of female character whose belivably human and capable of kicking some a**, a touch of the strange (cybernetics and space age), and relationships outside the hetero-normative (Three point poly relationship with singular-directive circular love impulses; A in love with B, B in love with C, C in love with A)
Unfortunately there is also the "Bury your Gays" trope going on as one of the trio ends up dead (not without foreshadowing near the very beginning of the novel, but still irritating) and the other two end up in a "normal" relationship with both survivors taking on more typically ascribed gender traits.
Still, I like the book and would read it again.
