High Couch of Silistra : Perseid Press : 9780996428972 : 0996428976 : 30 Jan 2016 : High Couch of Silistra is a story of sex, power, metaphysics and adventure told from the perspective of one world's most desirable courtesan. FOR ADVENTUROUS READERS ONLY "We are all bound," is the great truth of Silistra: Bound by biological necessity and genetics, the men and women of Silistra struggle to sort Nature from Nurture - where Nature always wins. Welcome to Silistra, a glimpse of a far distant future wherein a civilization proclaims the greatest feat an individual can perform is to produce one child, yet distrusts the sciences that brought them to the verge of extinction. Here women and men coexist uneasily in a society ravaged by war, technology, and infertility, each vying for power, seeking dominion over one another. Be warned, if your tastes run to simplistic plots, throbbing organs, swooning damsels or kick-boxing women in men's armor, Silistra may be too challenging. Misogynis
