Book number one of a four book science fiction series.  I read the
well printed and well bound POD (print on demand) trade paperback that
the author self published on Amazon in 2017.  I have purchased the
second book in the series and will read it soon.

This may be the weirdest science fiction book that I have ever read.
And I have read thousands of science fiction and fantasy books over my
many years.  It is a very interesting take on what the future genetic
engineers may bring us.

In the non so distant future, security specialist Larry Sokoloff is
vacationing in his RV in a Virginia RV park.  He rises in the morning
one day and finds a pretty young woman being accosted by three young
men under the awning of his RV.  He saves her from them and thus
begins the craziness.

In the Futanari Saga Universe, 100 to 200 Futanaris are born every
year.   The author's definition of a Futanari is female appearance,
female size, and XX chromosomes with male genitals instead of female
genitals. Yeah, you read that correctly as this does not match the
Wikipedia definition that I looked up.  But, somebody is now cloning
Futanaris and raising them as incredibly expensive sex slaves.

     Every read any of Samuel Delaney's books. i cannot recall
the particular title but real sex change not cosmetic Gender
Reassignment surgery is no big thing done in shops for body
modification shops in a short peroid of time.  One of the cool
images I retain is that the hero gets a tiny dragon install in
his chest.  I see that lots of the old stuff by Delany is now
fabuluously expesive. Will have to find the old books probably
  in boxes.

John Varley's Eight Worlds books have sex reassignment shops also.
IIRC, I think that the actual technology proposed was a fast growing
clone with a brain transplant.

Lin Carter did some subtle gender stuff in _Found Wanting_, one of his
rare books which wasn't a pastiche of somebody else's bailiwick.
