Summary: Excellent new literature in cutting-edge genre
Comment: Although I've read (and contributed to) Laura Antoniou's anthologies, this was the first Marketplace novel I read. I must admit that I'm now eager to "start at the beginning," and am thrilled that the first three books are returning, and a fifth is on its way -- the tantalizing inclusion of the first chapter of the next novel was wonderful! For first time Marketplace readers, I found this to be a book that thoroughly immersed me in an exciting, erotic world of Owner/slave relationships, and the behind-the-scenes machinations that make such a world exist. The short stories were marvelous, and added new voices to the main theme. Antoniou's writing is excellent; I look forward to more from her in this series.

Summary: The wait was worth it.
Comment: After too many years of waiting for the 4th MarketPlace book to come out, Ms Antoniou has gifted her fans with a continuation of her entertaining, thought-provoking, and mentally stimulating world of a fictional modern day consentual slave market. There are new characters to get to know and love or hate. Characters from previous books are re-visited and details gone into about some of the more intriging personalities. The novelogy style of the book works well, and the transition from story to story and author to author is done in such a way that it doesn't interfer with the reader's enjoyment of the various tales of politics, self discovery, and yes, the occassional orgy, though not quite like what one might think. It's much better. If your tastes are to sit back with a series of stories about things that could really happen, that you might have wished would happen, and dream might happen to you one day, this book as well as the other MP books, are for you. This book pulls you in, brings you into the character's lives, and makes you care about them. Everything a well written book, no matter what the subject matter, should do. Laura Antoniou gives her readers writings of substance, a meal instead of a light snack.

Summary: A wonderful idea that is done very very well.
Comment: Laura Antoniou had a great idea: her Marketplace series was so popular and fans wanted so much more, why not continue the story but also allow others to create their own Marketplace pieces? The result is the wonderful story of the Marketplace worldwide meeting with the intriguing Kris Parker as the main character. We also meet older slaves, trainers, and owners, and those somewhere in between at the Asia meeting. Not only do we find out more about Kris Parker but we also get the wonderfully varied works of sevearl well-known and fairly new erotica authors other than Antoniou. Almost every taste and every orientation and every combination is covered as we go from formal slavery in Asia and England to the new age of California and the proper victorian style households. I enjoyed it greatly; only wished I could have written a story for it too.
