Monopoly 3. Zenith by Arshad Ahsanuddin is my book of choice.

Optional task : A fantastic cross-genre book that straddles both the science fiction (space opera) genre and the romance genre equally. The romance is primarily gay, but there are major characters with m/f relationship dynamics also. Fun, exciting and romantic without being cloying. I really enjoyed this.
