The 2nd Great Depression made America into an island nation: a thousand rich cities in an ocean of poverty and despair. Out of this despair came the idea that voluntary servitude, even sexual servitude, was okay. Almost overnight, a million pretty girls signed up for a lucrative "thrall" contracts. Kim James was one of them. Her long, cheetah-like body aroused men's darkest desires. One of these men was Howard Forester, who purchased Kim's contract for a record amount, only to die within a year.

The 2nd Great Depression has made America an island nation: a thousand rich cities in an ocean of poverty and despair. Out of this despair comes the idea that voluntary servitude, even sexual servitude, is okay. Almost overnight, a million pretty girls sign up for lucrative "thrall" contracts. Kim James, with her long, cheetah-like body, is one of them. After a nightmare journey through the outback, Kim is finally settled as the proprietor of a boutique bondage shop, and Ethan becomes the head of a new Nevada town.

Kim and Charlotte have no choice in this third installment of the Thrall Tales but to play the roles given them by Bob Cushing. Kim questions her feelings for Ethan as AmerromA AsiA takes shape in Bangkok, and Charlotte reconciles to her new life as a muhra (ponygirl) in Rocco's development of AmerromA ArabiA. By the time the new AmerromA sites are ready, they both understand what it really means to be a thrall.

The AmerromA International Corporation thrives as the thrall laws, which allow bondage by consent and contract, are accepted as part of the global culture. Incredibly, beautiful girls are flocking to their lawyers to sign up. Others, like Kim James, one of the first thralls in the AmerromA family, finds her submissive roots and her true master in Clive Coleridge. But there's a strange side-effect to this new liberalism. Slaves, captives without thrall contracts, are becoming more prevalent in the outback as thralls become part of life in the cities.

Thrall Tales 5... The popularity of the VolServ laws (which allow consensual servitude) and the acceptance of the thrall provisions (which allow sexual services and bondage in VolServ contracts) encourage nomads in the outback to turn their war captives into serfs. These serfs soon enter the black-market and become a major source of illegal VolServ "workers" for the cities. It is a repeat of the 1920's era of Prohibition, only this time the contraband is people--a vicious cycle that eventually leads to a savage war with AmerromA's profiteering at the very center.
