STORY DESCRIPTION After World War III, fought, not as in previous conflicts by armies, navies and air-forces but by technicians pushing buttons that unleashed missiles, civilisation degenerated, much the same as it did after the collapse of the Roman Empire; technology fell back to almost mediaeval levels and warlords, self-styled kings, assumed sway over small territories.
Slavery was almost immediately restored as a natural method of civil-control and slaves of both sexes could be used however their owners decreed, even for pleasure ? It was not a good time to be born - especially if you were born as a slave.
Kings were made, kings were deposed. Twins Claudine and Joseph were once 'royal' but were in the hands of the sadistic Princess Samantha, who degraded and used them, had them pierced, branded and used as ponies. Life for the young couple was far from pleasant and under the new regime, about to get much worse! |
