This was a wonderful concept that was only shallowly developed. This book could have been wonderful if more time were spent on expanding the post-apocalyptic society plot line. Only 1 in a 1000 people became submissive so that meant that for every 1 submissive, there were 999 über-aggressive & over-sexed dominants. Where were the the street fights, where was the chaos etc.? Only once was the impact of this imbalance very briefly touched on. I did enjoy the book. It is very similar in style to Kim Dare's books but I did spend time missing the story that could have been written & wasn't. Perhaps I spent too much time reading John Wyndham books in my youth, but I wanted the whole story rather than the shallow tale I got.Originally posted on Goodreads.com
