William Andrews thought he had the world at his feet. A perfect physical specimen born to a family accustomed to great wealth and even greater privilege, and with a fresh degree from Harvard on his wall, he thought that he alone was master of his future. And he is-until he finds himself pulled into a world so unknown, so shadowy, so alien that even he can barely comprehend what "reality" really means now.

Because of his special psychic talents, William finds himself inexorably pulled into the greatest power game the world has ever known. It is not the future that William Andrews had envisioned for himself. "It is the future that others had planned for him."

William joins an organization that rules the world from the shadows. Soon, his circle will include aliens from other worlds and their technology. His dark new world is riddled with dangerous sensual adventures that would shock his patrician family, and William finds himself just as powerless to escape the lurid pull of this new shadow society. He becomes the owner of two human slaves, whose devotion is seductive. His moral compass spins out of control when he is given the opportunity to operate a deadly pleasure resort. He then finds himself at the front lines of a major battle with an alien space armada, a war that neither side can hope to win.

William's life-the one he didn't choose-tests every moral and sexual value that he has ever been taught, and the New Order he lives in causes him to question almost every decision that he has ever made-or will make.

The erotic tales presented reflect the incredible variety of sexual inclinations and uninhibited, unrestrained bodily lust. The geographic setting changes in each story. The protagonists include writers, sculptors, vacationers, ladies of the day and night. The love scenes and stories leave nothing to be desired. Lively action flows from London to New York, Tennessee, Montreal, Ibiza and Mallorca. The encounters include hetero, homo, bi-sexual, lesbian, and diagonal relationships. The tales deal, among other things, with the seduction of a convent girl by a rich older lady; with the fascination of a female professor and her husband for what is locally called a hillbilly; with the falling in love of two couples with each other; with the formation of threesomes and foursomes; with a successful wife swapping attempt; and other stories. The characters depicted engage in all kinds of passionate behavior to satisfy their sexual needs and desires; and be they not so strange.

I wonder if Janie will come. It was Parker Thomas's first thought as he prepared to head back to his alma mater for a twenty-two-year college reunion. Parker was forty-four, but he could still remember his days half a lifetime ago as a party boy in upstate New York. He could also remember Janie-the one that got away. Parker didn't have much to complain about; he was a successful businessman-but sometimes, he felt lonely. Janie Farwell had similar thoughts. She, too, had found success in the business world, so why did her life still feel empty? Why did she so often reminisce about the past and about a handsome boy named Parker? Of course he would be at the reunion, she told herself. She had to believe it. She wanted to see him again; she only wondered what might happen when she did. Would she feel the same way about him, twenty-two years later? The night draws nearer, until finally, Parker and Janie meet face-to-face. As their fellow graduates catch up on careers, families, and old friendships, Parker and Janie can only see each other. But can love weather the years? Does a spark survive a twenty-two-year gap, or will college grudges and youthful indiscretions come back to haunt them? Only the night of the reunion can tell, and what happens may chance both of their lives forever.
