Capitallia - Minds, Markets and Class Privilege.
Set in Falconer's Capitallia, someone is subverting the political process. Set in the year 2136, this story of intrigue concentrates on the unintended consequences of controlling society's lowest strata.
A young woman is raped and swears revenge. This is her story, along with that of some partners she picks up along the way. The story is bloody and violent, and there is no sex, unless you count rape and full nudity. Skip this one if you don't like vigilante justice. Pimps and rapists are in particular danger.
Nancy Sweet, lonely, unfulfilled widow happens to see a friend of her son's hitchhiking and picks him up. Thus begins a new chapter in her life devoted to doing the bidding of this young man, beginning with being stripped naked, as she drives them both toward home. (See my blog about this.)
They are loyal, talented and idealistic, and someone wants them dead. Their most talented is their facilitator and he is in love. My humour is laconic and irreverent, and all is written in Australian English as usual. Go a bit on the wild side and live with it.
Combat veteran discovers two half-naked teens in his barn one night and embarks on a journey of kidnapping, rape, sodomy and murder. More story than sex.
The story ends with Chapter 10. A sequel is in the works for after the holidays.
Ahmed ibn Malik's Saracens are investing the Heights of Hattin in late twelfth-century Palestine. The Crusaders come out to parley, led by Guillaume de Chauvigny, bringing his three sons. Malik sees Chauvigny's 14-year-old reddish-blond and handsome son Andre and declares he must have him as a virgin. Turkish chieftain Yusuf bin Salah captures the boy and does everything he can to debauch him while leaving him technically a virgin for Ahmed's pleasure. Andre has his own secrets though.
A man is suddenly thrust into a different world or a different time or both. If he doesn't like it, would he or could he change it? Will he live long enough to decide or try? There are a lot of codes but most is off screen. It really is minimal sex!
