More about the book

The world of DRUM is a world of brutality, lust and miscegenation… where chained Negroes are sold like cattle…. Where prize specimens, male and female are chosen to work in exotic bordellos, and on slave-breeding plantations… where masters, drunk with the power of life and death, force their slaves to entertain them with unspeakable acts. Slaves and Masters... Tamboura-- born a prince in the jungles of Africa and sold into slavery; his beauty and nobility draw him into a forbidden alliance with blonde Alix, his owner's mistress.

Drum-- son of Tamboura and Alix, who becomes the star performer in the mêlées given in his mother's brothel, and the most invincible prize-fighter in the South. Hammond Maxwell-- hates white women and black men, and owns the great slave-breeding plantation, Falconhurst, presided over by an elegant, enigmatic woman he acquires in a strange transaction. Drumson-- sold by his grandmother to sire slaves at Falconhurst, where the evils from the past and present explode in a thunderous slave uprising.
