Huh. I read the military SF novel The Outback Stars and unlike this Tor blogger, I found the romance arbitrary and unconvincing and hated the whiny emo male love interest. He may have reason to be whiny and emo, but that doesn't mean I gotta like him for it*, and I don't find commander/subordinate romances hot, I find them hella unethical.
* Er, maybe it's relevant here that my favorite male characters tend to be people like Manji from Blade of the Immortal, Kenpachi from Bleach, Hotaru from Samurai Deeper Kyo, Croaker from The Black Company, Sanzo from Saiyuki, Hiei from Yu Yu Hakusho and my favorite Ninja Turtle is Raphael. I have little tolerance for the whiny emo subtype of brooding, embittered hero.

I knew I liked you for a reason.
...I really should have a Raph icon.
