Genevieve Jester, a young feminist, is sent undercover by the U.N. Women's Rights Commission to investigate egregious abuses of women's rights by Americus, a male-dominated, sexist land of former American states possessed of the DeedapD, a supposedly infallible lie detector. The lie detector could determine an international political struggle between Americus and feminist America for control of a vetoempowered United Nations Security Council seat.



Genevieve, unaware, is deceitfully used as a pawn to checkmate an English king crucial to the Security Council intrigue. She endures appalling anti-feminist indoctrination, but stays in Americus. Her brother-mysteriously associatedwith the king-is feared to be in danger. To effectively search for him she becomes a "declared man" deprived of sexual release, complicating her romantic attraction to a man of hidden allegiances.



Unfolding developments keep Genevieve and those who care about her unsure of her survival. Fiendishly attacked and marked for death by her brother's enemies, Genevieve must resolve her infatuation, her brother's questioned virtue, and mixed feelings about Americus and its DeedapD.
