This is a new book in the ever-popular Barbary stories by Allan Aldiss, which describe the erotic adventures of renegade Rory Fitzgerald in North Africa during the long drawn-out Napoleonic Wars. The very success of the Barbary Pirates, coupled with the simultaneous brutal repression of a revolt in the Sultan's Balkan provinces, have caused a sudden glut in the slave market not on in Marsa but also in Constantinople, Damascus, and Cairo. Accordingly, seeking new sales outlets, the Pasha of Marsa orders Rory to take a shipload of beautiful European women slaves to the Caribbean, to open a new market.
