Synopsis
Roommates Kobi and Merin have a problem. They live in a carefree, utopian society where oppression and inequality have been eradicated, everyone has a say in the government, and everyone has plenty of food, clothing, and sex. The problem? Kobi and Merin harbor secret taboo desires, fantasizing about slavery and sexual domination. Through their computer networks, they begin to seek out others who share their desires. But when their society opens diplomacy and trade with a war-like, domineering culture, suppressed desires burst forth. Is it the end of the world as they know it? First published as a chapter-by-chapter serial in the magazine Taste of Latex, The Velderet left many readers unsatisfied when the magazine folded after only six chapters had appeared. After email entreaties from readers to finish the story, author Tan has brought the tale to a thrilling finish with six more never-before-seen chapters.

Reviews
Tan, a widely published sf-erotica short-story writer, now attempts to meld the genres in a novel. Although the results are mixed, the potential of her genre blending is, to say the least, stirring. Roommates Kobi (male) and Merin (female) live in a world too utopian to be utopia. Free from all inequality, they share a strange desire: to be sexual slaves. Their fellow Bellonians discourage any iniquity, so Kobi and Merin explore their fantasies secretly in cyberspace at the state-sanctioned sex house at which Kobi works, the Velderet. When the Bellonians inaugurate diplomatic relations with the powerful, belligerent Kylarans, their entire existence soon rests on Kobi's willingness to be enslaved. Tan does well at wedding futuristic fantasy and sex, but sf buffs will have to suspend disbelief repeatedly to keep from poking holes in the sometimes-thin plot. Still, Tan's interesting exercise in alchemy manages to provoke the mind nearly as much as the body. John Green
