"No Man's Land: Volume 2" by Sarah A. Hoyt
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1630111015

Book number two of a three book space opera science fiction series in
the Chronicles of Lost Elly. I read the well printed and well bound POD (print on demand) trade paperback published by Goldport Press in 2025.
I have the third book in the series and will read it soon.

Ok, this series is little strange but very good. Publius Cornelius
Scipio Africanus Kayel Hayden, Viscount Webson, Envoy of the Star
Empire, a retired Commodore in the Britannia Empire of Star System,
becomes a roving junior ambassador for the Queen Eleanor. One of many
junior ambassadors, also known as Skip Hayden. While drafting a new
trade agreement with the newly found lost colony planet Draksall, Hayden
is attacked by several men with Terran blasters. In the ensuing melee,
Skip Hayden is transported to another lost colony planet, Elly.

Elly is unlike any other lost colony planet found to date. There are no women, there are no men. All of the human beings are hermaphrodites.
And there is magic, lots and lots of magic. Not much technology, mostly swords and bows. And the hermaphrodites are very different from the
single sexed, very very different.

Skip Hayden is on the run with the young King of Elly and a couple of
his retainers. And offworlders with Terran blasters are looking for them.

The book / series is a little hard to follow. There are many characters
and many events with much jumping around. But it is a good series so
far, I expect surprises in the next book.
