In July 1941, journalist (but really military intelligence agent) half English-half Burmese Gordon is dispatched to Burma to convince the artist who deflowered him at age fourteen and set him into having the fetish too to return to England to work on the war effort. The artist is in Burma because there are easy boys there and he tries to convince Gordon to stay. Gordon indulges in his old fetish and is also pursued by a Japanese sadist.
It's 2068. Nineteen years since the second American civil war, the Cabal crisis, and the ensuing global anarchy that broke the United States into hundreds of autonomous micro states and ended the world as we knew it. A new generation are coming of age in the Chareen Hills. These are the lucky ones. Their tolerably comfortable, insular lives, in a nice part of the shattered ruins of the American empire, are about to get a whole lot more interesting.
