Its the Pleasure Planet, the Las Vegas of the Federation. Whatever you want, there's someone on the Reel who'll provide it - if you can pay the price. It's a world run by madams and casino owners, a world whose only law is the law of supply and demand.
Christie Chesson supplies: She's working for one of the Reel's biggest pleasure houses, but she can't make enough to get out. On the Reel, if you don't have a piece of the action, the action has a piece of you...
Alex Younge has more action than he wants. He's inherited the biggest casino on the planet, but all he wants is to get himself- and Christie- off the Reel.
But, as Alex and Christie discover, love has no place on the Pleasure Planet: it yields no profit. The Reel is made for people like Wyss Diamond, who wants everything- and doesn't care how he gets it. If he gets it, the pleasure will be over- forever for Alex and Christie, and maybe for everyone on the Reel...
