While reading the first book I was too taken aback by the weird sexual dynamics to really think them through. Essentially, Palmer has set up a world where there is a secret cabal of political leaders who all share the same sexual kinks, that are taboo in their society, and stay in power via a careful blend of seduction and sexual blackmail and carry out assassinations for 'the greater good'. What a bizarre set up.
