Words fail me. This book is bizarre and incredibly hilarious though I'm sure that's not what the author intended. This is what I would classify as sci-fi erotica.
What do I think of this book? The writing is poor. There is no plot. The sex scenes are repetitive. I've read better books than this.

The hero in the story is Zor who comes from Tryston, a planet far from Earth. He like the other males of his planet are over 7 feet tall and extremely muscular (think of professional wrestlers on TV). They also have the sex drive of someone who has taken an entire bottle of Viagra. They are very much alpha males who are possessive of their mates. The men are deeply possessive enough to kill you for touching their mates inappropriately. Zor happens to be the Emperor of his intergalatic system. He's looking for his soulmate who happens to be a human female on Earth so he comes here to capture her.

Everyone on the planet Tryston is extremely liberal with their sexuality. They have no problems having sex in front of each other and in multiple ways although thankfully none of this happens in front of children as far as I could tell. All the sex is between a man and woman or a man and multiple women. There is no M/M sex. I had to treat this book as pure fantasy because if you take it too seriously the subjugation of women and their status in this society will get to you.

Besides all the sex, there are also dinosaurs, floating tables, an orgy or two, aliens who have no faces, etc.
