Book by Resnick, Mike

Thomas Gold, crusading leader of a fanatical religious sect, embarks on a holy crusade of liberation that threatens the existence of the "Velvet Comet" as he becomes the self-declared "savior" of a race of beautiful elfin aliens living on the pleasure planet

Book Four of the Velvet Comet—the enormous, exclusive, elaborate, and infamous orbiting brothel: Screenwriter and novelist Nate Page arrives aboard the empty Velvet Comet twenty-three years after it is decommissioned by the Vainmill Syndicate. The light-topic musical holographic production that Nate is writing is based on the Velvet Comet in its prime, and requires research available only through Cupid, the ship's still-functioning and nearly-self-aware onboard computer. As the cynical screenwriter and the unemotionally truthful computer struggle to create a work of fiction true to the reality of life aboard the Comet, Nate's agent makes it clear that prostituting your art is not any different from prostituting your body.
