Upsurge is a novel experience: sex and the strange canine society of three centuries ago, maritime power and pirates, gold and high politics.

The Right Honourable Tompf, fourteenth Earl of Maine under the Imperial Crown, is a well-known canine historian who wrote Upsurge. Lord Maine has access to exceptional technology because he is a very wealthy academic. This interacts with items from the target era, in this case, the diaries of his ancestor Thrix and the hair lockets of Thrix’s lovers. The massive AI can reconstitute images of historical events because to quantum phenomena. There are more than nine hundred similar pictures in this story. In addition, the AI handles the translation into English and, for reasons that are unclear to us, has made arrangements for us to access the document. Much of the information may be disturbing to readers in the modern era because it is completely indifferent to our society’s conventions.

In Upsurge, the sources of Lord Maine’s inherited fortune are bravely exposed. Although the events it recounts took place in the early eighteenth century, they are regulated by the social mores of the peculiar canine society that Lord Maine’s forefathers were a part of.

Because of canine biology, there were eight men for every woman alive during this era of rudimentary medicine. According to custom, the women were contentedly placed in wealthy homes. Once alone in the world, most men would spend decades without seeing a single woman after being kicked out of their birth household around adolescence. Since this was a highly unequal society, most canine men were therefore limited to same-sex relationships, which frequently involved a high level of compulsion. Men lived in packs that were prone to becoming gangs, and there was a persistent motif of violence and the unyielding suppression of it. The story is steeped in this background and, as a result, it is highly NSFW. You are advised to avoid it if these are sensitive topics for you.
