Pagan Passions
Laurence M. Janifer and Randall Garrett
Read by Phil Chenevert
'Adult' Science Fiction? Well, why not? Science Fiction deals imaginatively with odd and unsettling subjects, why not sex? In this novel, the The Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Greece and Rome had returned to Earth—with all their awesome powers intact, and Earth was transformed almost overnight. War on any scale was outlawed, along with boom-and-bust economic cycles, and ...er... prudery—no change was more startling than the face of New York, where, for instance, the Empire State Building became the Tower of Zeus! Our hero, William Forrester is an acolyte of Athena, Goddess of Wisdom and therefore a teacher, but Maya Wilson, girl student, was a worshiper of Venus, Goddess of Love and she definitely has different ideas of what to do after class with your professor, especially in a world where prudery has been outlawed. Much dilly-dallying, spooning and downright shenanigans occur I am sad to say but the plot may thicken in the end. - Summary by Phil chenevert and the author (5 hr 25 min)

Great story, loved It! Quite a twist on the story, really enjoyed seeing it unfold. Very well written and well narrated. Voice was perfect for this book. Highly recommended!

Very interesting modern twist on the tall tales. Start with the premise: what if the gods have returned and you are summoned to appear before them... then pick a direction and arc it to a conclusion It is an interesting ride, not my usual cup of tea but I’m glad I listened to the end as it turned out to be a good cup in the end. The reader is one of my favorites.
Awesome story!

I very much hesitate to say anything else, not wanting to reveal a thing. I will say that Phil does an amazing job in his reading. Certain books, I believe, call for certain readers; I can hear past echoes of Pagan Passions calling out "Phil, read me. Phil, read me."...
Quite Entertaining

Phil's reading made this story fun. Quite an unusual scifi twist. Lots of humorous sItuations. Entertaining main character. Adult subjects
Juan Ignacio San Martin
It's alright, but not a subject I was hoping for by reading Garrett. It's a mixture of affairs and mythology.
