The novel is set in Reynolds's United Planets Federation with the planet Amazonia presenting itself as ruled by a caste of women warriors with men in inferior positions. This was, in fact, the premise on which Amazonia was established, and it has been maintained as a cover for the fact that it has no army, not even a police force. While enclaves of the original vision remain, gender equality and monogamy are the norm.
