    Book number one of a four book science fiction series.  I read the well printed and well bound POD (print on demand) trade paperback that the
    author self published on Amazon in 2017.  I have purchased the second
    book in the series and will read it soon.

    This may be the weirdest science fiction book that I have ever read. And
    I have read thousands of science fiction and fantasy books over my many years.  It is a very interesting take on what the future genetic
    engineers may bring us.

    In the non so distant future, security specialist Larry Sokoloff is vacationing in his RV in a Virginia RV park.  He rises in the morning
    one day and finds a pretty young woman being accosted by three young men under the awning of his RV.  He saves her from them and thus begins the craziness.

    In the Futanari Saga Universe, 100 to 200 Futanaris are born every year.
     The author's definition of a Futanari is female appearance, female
    size, and XX chromosomes with male genitals instead of female genitals.
    Yeah, you read that correctly as this does not match the Wikipedia
    definition that I looked up.  But, somebody is now cloning Futanaris and raising them as incredibly expensive sex slaves.

    The author has an active website at:

    My rating:  4.4 out of 5 stars
    Amazon rating:  4.2 out of 5 stars (51 ratings)

    Every read any of Samuel Delaney's books. i cannot recall
    the particular title but real sex change not cosmetic Gender
    Reassignment surgery is no big thing done in shops for body
    modification shops in a short peroid of time. One of the cool
    images I retain is that the hero gets a tiny dragon install in
    his chest. I see that lots of the old stuff by Delany is now
    fabuluously expesive. Will have to find the old books probably
    in boxes.

    _Babel-17_, A Favorite of mine (number of re-reads certainly in
    the double digits). Though it wasn't the hero with the
    implanted dragon but a staid Customs Officer greatly impacted
    by the hero(ine). Beautiful imagery in the book.

    John Varley's Eight Worlds books have sex reassignment shops also.
    IIRC, I think that the actual technology proposed was a fast growing
    clone with a brain transplant.

    Lin Carter did some subtle gender stuff in _Found Wanting_, one of his
    rare books which wasn't a pastiche of somebody else's bailiwick.

    Another author who writes lots of sex changes or other physical
    changes in his characters is Jack Chalker. It's probably the
    characteristic he's known best for. Nothing outstanding, but a very
    solid B-list writer (something like 50 sf novels).
