 Rated 1/10
a dreadfully poorly-plotted, uninspirédly-written drag of a book that both authors should've been too embarrassed to allow james baen to go ahead and publish. baen books even allowed a hardcover edition to escape and sully bookshop shelves and vict^W customers' minds the year before this mmpb slithered through the distribution system and hopefully paid off a significant part of baen books' historic debt (if any yet remained).

in a feminazi utopian future°, one woman decides to fight for the rights of men - but mostly, for lurve... - i.e. his irresistible sex appeal. or something.

- don't get me wrong: a feminist utopia could be a perfectly cromulent starting-point for setting your protagonists major problems that result from choices made by its founders; or a feminist dystopia, investigating how a utopia established with the best possible reasons, and with a constitution designed to ensure equal rights, might over time decay, or have decayed, into a society that gives your protagonists major problems they must overcome: cf, ursula le guin's "the dispossessed" (1974), q.v. for an anarchist example of this latter; but this farrago of idiocies piled upon stupidity is not it. alas.

° - to hide its origin, the authors - or just anthony? - cunningly named it "mazonia"; snigger away. . .

avoid.
