A wonderful story that has the very male Dr. Tachyon having to deal
with new expectations and reactions of others. Unlike many works
with deal with empowerment issues in gender changes, this one
recognizes the complex tradeoffs rathern than just ticking off the
advantages or disadvantages.

Follow up novel to the 'Lovers' story arc in Wildcards IX. Picks up
right in the middle of the action. There is some important back
story for this to be properly enjoyed, but the author does a fairly
good job of catching a new reader up to speed without maiming the
dialogue or flow of the story too badly.
In a nutshell: Dr. Tachyon is an humanlike alien trying to help
earth cope with super powered humans created by a viurs he helped
design. His grandson Blaise is a deviant teenage psychopath who
gains the ability to 'jump' (swap bodies with) people from one of
these super humans.
Setting out to destroy his grandfather, a womanizer and something
of a chavaunist depsite his sensitive facade, Blaise conducts a
triple jump leaving Tachyon trapped in the body of a young woman
who had wanted to be Blaise's girlfriend, and the unsuspecting girl
in Dr. Tachyon's body. Blaise almost immediately strips and beats
Tachyon, brutally deflowering 'her' new sixteen year old body in a
chillingly convincing rape.
Tachyon later tries to escape and is unsuccessful, only to be
eventually rescued by a super powered vigilante. But not before she
is five or six months along after being impregnated by her grandson
from multiple rapes however.
Blaise finally flees the planet in Tachyon's own spaceship and with
'his' male body, leaving Tachyon apparently trapped on earth as a
woman, and soon to be a mother, forever. This is where the book
picks up.
Basically Double Solitaire is a race against time, as Tachyon tries
to reach her homeworld, capture Blaise, and return to her original
body before she gives birth. The hero/heroine is only partly
successful as Tachyon has been consigned to the women's quarters,
endured childbirth, breastfed, indulged in consensual sex with an
amorous cousin, and even gotten herself pregnant again before she
is returned to her male body.
A good book that isn't overly preachy or stereotypical. Neither
side in the war of the sexes is depicted as better, just different.
Tachyon's reactions are usually quite believable as she ranges from
confusion and discomfort due to her new body, and the changes both
emotional and physical caused by pregnancy, to despair and
eventually acceptance of, and even sometimes amusement with, her
new (and she hopes temporary) condition.
