Well Clarke was Bisexual so it wouldn't surprise me. In the sequel to "Time's Eye", "Sunstorm", it introduces a male character who lives on the moon and gets a visit from a younger male scientist, who he develops an attraction to.

If you've read "Imperial Earth", when you read through the book you get to learn both the main character's sexual orientation and ethnicity (which is not clear at the beginning).

As for "tacking Clarke's name", I tend to disagree. I've read Clarke's "Space Odyssey" books and I can feel his contributions to "Time's Eye" pretty strongly.
