Amazon.com has apparently decided that anything that is in one of its Gay or Lesbian categories (other than Kindle) will now be classified as "adult" and left out of rankings and certain searches, no matter what the book's actual content is.
So, policy books such as Unfriendly Fire are not easy to find, and do not show up in book-sales rankings, but heterosexual romances, even those with raunchy sex scenes, do show up.
What also shows up? The Gay Man's Kama Sutra, which is filed in the category "Books > Bargain Books > Health, Mind & Body."
