The Mediterranean Sea and the shores of southern France and western Italy provide the sunny setting for Yacht of Cruelty and its coterie of strange sadists. Young American George Barton finds himself stranded in Monte Carlo with 20 francs (this is 1970s, before advent of the Euro) in his pocket and no prospects. In these desperate circumstances, a gorgeous stranger who owns a 60-foot yacht offers him employment as a deckhand.

The back cover describes the kinky cruise —

George Barton, the handsome young and virile boat bum, signed on the sleek yacht Justine as mate after being lured to it by the voluptuous owner, Wilma Parks, whose sexual vibrations promised something unusual.

Once under sail, George met the rest of the crew of the yacht — Jenny, the cruel companion of the owner. Marge, their erotic young victim, and Carlos, the hulking, lisping Captain who had taken a special interest in George's body while planning to ultimately throw it to the sharks.

The story of this bizarre voyage, laced with excitement and terror, is the story of George Barton's trip down to the final revelations of his own depraved needs and wants; The extremes of the wanton dominants, the hopeless sensuality of all hands and the realization that nobody in the whole world knew he was trapped aboard the Yacht of Cruelty.

George soon becomes aware that his role isn't limited to that of steward and deckhand. Wilma uses him as target for her sadistic rituals, causing him pain and humiliation. Jenny introduces him to shoe worship protocols, shoving long spike heels in his mouth and elsewhere.

Marge presents herself to the new man as a sex-crazed captive, and he delights in giving her comfort. When Wilma permits, Captain Carlos uses the good-looking slave to satisfy his own homosexual lust, and George discovers pain and pleasure he never imagined.

In one scene, Jenny has George dress in her nylons, garter belt and high heels and in another demands anal clean-up. Wilma gets creative in hurting George forcing him to endure a steamy enema, tongs, bondage and varied whippings. Continuous derision and ridicule accompany all his punishment sessions.

Mr. Stone's professional prose paints dark scenes of twisted torment for his victims. Text describes sensations of fear, pain and pleasure. The two dominas demand instant obedience and feel comfortable scarring, hurting and otherwise abusing their subordinates.

Paragraphs describe bondage and punishment paraphernalia in detail. The author's women dress in costumes that show off spectacular female figures, usually including corsets, stockings and high-heeled footwear.

The text has been reset for the ebook iteration. Few changes were made to the language of the original, but some punctuation and spelling were modified. 41000 words.

The paperback includes 12 fine illustrations by the Great Bill Ward. Shapely and strong, his voluptuous bitches appear ecstatic or vicious as they use their victims for sensual fun and sadistic outburst. Most pictures relate to scenes described in the narrative and others depict similar tableaux.

Mr. Ward's sensuous art is optimized on 50 pages. Virtual enlargements of image segments expose figure features, action and fetish elements. This presentation technique reduces the need for zooming and scrolling.

As possible, pictures were placed in the ebook near prose that describes them. As some pictures have no related text, they were located near text that has no corresponding art. Not all scenes in the story are shown in pictures. In this pursuit, the sequence of images was revised.

Brightness and contrast of images were adjusted. Most appear with clear white backgrounds and smooth edges.

All new scans. Female nudity.

A second ebook shows only the optimized art on 50 pages. This ebook presents pictures in the sequence of the paperback.
