SOLVED. Sci Fi - orange skinned matriarchy, protagonist is albino [s]

[Sarah]

I seem to remember it was published by playboy, but not sure about that...

[Lobstergirl, au gratin]

Did you read it in 1983?

[Sarah]

No but my subconscious is telling me the publishing date was~1983-1984

[Ann aka Iftcan]

Was it a short story or a full-length novel?

[Sarah]

Full length novel. But one of those short ~200 page Sci Fi paperbacks from the eighties.

Remember the cover? E.g. did it have orange-skinned people on it?

[Sarah]

Yes, I seem to remember it was a little racy: two female orange aliens with the white alien sitting on a throne in the middle....

[Sarah]

Found it! Leviathan's Deep by Jayge Carr. Great read!

I shelved this back on 4/24; the [s] in the header indicates it was shelved. However, this book is subject to the bug: when you look for it on the group bookshelves, it doesn't show as grayed out, when it should show as grayed out.

Please do not shelve again.

What?

Sorry Sarah I should have indicated that post was for Mods. You can ignore it.
