History’s oldest industry conducts its business in broad daylight on Talpretta—until Lucia di Vigilanti, the most famous madam in the civilized galaxy, finds herself under the scrutiny of a government that will stop at nothing before it destroys all free enterprise. When the sexual labor union launches an assault on the Bordello della Libertà, Lucia has no choice but to fight back, to defend the livelihood of her hard-working girls. The second installment of Aethertales , the story of Bordello della Libertà is one of capitalism under siege, and of the surrender of personal choice at gunpoint, for the sake of those whose only choice is to take from others and give nothing in return.
