Category: Far future
Summary: Andrej Koscuisko is a doctor whose social position has forced him into the job of Ship's Surgeon, which means part of his job is torturing political prisoners. Though he is a moral man, he discovers he really enjoys that aspect of his work. Lots of (male) homoerotic tension. The other two books in the series are not nearly as good.
