Babylon 2020. The former island of Alcatraz in San Francisco Bay is its own country with its own rules. It is also the world’s most exquisite bordello run by none other than the master (or mistress) of all pleasure: Crygender. Cry is a hermaphrodite so deftly constructed it is impossible to determine gender or even genotype. As for sexuality, Cry has it all, and more. Yet there are mysteries wrapped within mysteries on Babylon, and Cry has a secret that has returned to destroy all that he/she holds dear. It’s a secret that special police operatives on two continents desperately seek. A secret for which others have killed—and for which they will kill again. It is the secret of Crygender’s own dark past. About Thomas T. Thomas “Wild. . .Thomas’s feeling for human nature and his detailed knowledge of how things work—from the military to business legal and illegal—keep [his stories] lively and provocative.” —Publishers Weekly
