Spaceways 2: Corundum's Woman by John Cleve

Spaceways 2
Corundum's Woman
by John Cleve (Andrew J. Offutt)
1982 Playboy

"I've got your slicer trapped up my stash, jacko!"

Janja continues her space adventures, this time with Captain Corundum, and seeking revenge on her former slaver Captain Jonuta. This is as close as a plot as you're going to get.

We get a lengthy scene of Jonuta haggling for slaves before escaping space cops in orbit, to be followed by Corundum haggling for mining equipment before escaping space cops in orbit. Janja and Corundum go drinking, Jonuta gets his bank accounts frozen, and Janja ends up in the ship of another pirate, Hellfire. I guess there's going to be a running device of Janja ending up with a different crew at the end of each installment.

And then there's the sex. More sex, and nastier, than the first, and Offutt finally makes use of the Jarps, an alien race of sex crazed hermaphrodites, but he gets tired of it after the first couple sex scenes. We end up in a situation where the minimal story just gets us to the sex scenes, and he skips over those to get back to the story, leaving us with not much else.
