SummaryIf the tube's a-rockin', don't come a-knockin'...
Odilia is a nice planet. The sky is purple, the grass is
yellow, the property prices aren't that bad. But
reproduction is painful, solitary, and asexual. Which is why
the Odilians find the recently discovered "X-rated" disks
from Earth so fascinating. And why the money-making scheme
they're hatching is so brilliant.
The plan is simple: abduct four Earthlings and juice them up
on a heady pheromone cocktail. Then plop them in a variety
of titillating holographic scenarios and market the results
as reality entertainment—for vast profits.
The four chosen humans are strangers to each other, but not
to life's disappointments. Leandros, a lounge singer who's
never committed to anything longer than an Elvis medley.
Eve, an interior designer who's living a life much more
beige than bold. Beau, a laid-back car mechanic who wants
more from life than oil changes. And Cassandra, an innocent
debutante who's learned most of her sexual know-how from
self-help books.
As unwilling—okay, sort of willing—stars of the
Odilians' budding intergalactic porn empire, the four of
them consider their options. Relax and enjoy the ride? Try
to escape?
How about fall in love?
