Gynarchy's Collar is the first book in the Zhiva Legacy series by T. R. Schneider. Set in the future aboard the ISA Mayflower, Lieutenant Ethan Drake was once a respected flight commander but is thrown into chaos when a space-time anomaly hurls him centuries ahead. Awakening in a galaxy ruled by a matriarchal alien hybrid civilization, Drake finds himself stripped of status and autonomy. His journey from officer to object is complicated by entanglements with two powerful women: Anaisa Bello, a former crewmate turned dominator in this new world order, and a mysterious figure with ties to his past that may redefine his future. As he struggles to adapt, the enigmatic Dr. Bennett looms just around the corner, using desire as leverage in a high-stakes game of dominance and identity.
Author T. R. Schneider offers a unique concept and does it incredibly well. The story is a daring exploration of power, sexuality, and control wrapped in a sleek sci-fi package. The world-building is bold and impressive, offering readers an unsettling yet fascinating take on gender dynamics and societal evolution. Ethan’s descent into vulnerability is written with psychological depth as the author forces readers to confront uncomfortable questions about autonomy, trust, and what it means to be free. Ethan is human, vulnerable, and hurt. I wouldn’t call it a love triangle, not yet, because there is a lot of baggage to be unpacked and relationships to develop. Erin and Anaisa are two very strong characters, and I cannot wait to see how they develop. Gynarchy’s Collar is a promising start to a series that is bound to be fantastic! - Reviewed by Rabia Tanveer for Readers' Favorite
★★★★ Literary Titan
In Gynarchy’s Collar, the first book in the Zhiva Legacy series, T.R. Schneider crafts a futuristic, sensual tale where gender dynamics are upended and power plays out through collar technology, political seduction, and raw emotional entanglement. The novel begins with a space expedition led by Lieutenant Ethan Drake and his crew, who are flung 200,000 years into the future and awaken in a galaxy now ruled by the Gynarchy—a matriarchal empire where men are property and emotions are often weaponized. Amid the sweeping backdrop of galactic intrigue and technological marvels, Ethan finds himself entangled in a dangerously intimate triangle with Anaisa, a brilliant engineer, and Dr. Bennett, a calculating psychologist with dark designs of her own. As passion meets submission and politics slips between the sheets, survival hinges on loyalty, vulnerability, and the cost of surrender.
The writing often walks a tightrope between lush and lurid, sometimes dipping into camp, but it works. Schneider isn’t afraid to lean into the drama, and that boldness kept me flipping pages late into the night. The world-building is ridiculously imaginative. Cryogenic sleep cycles, neural dampeners, collar-based control systems—these aren’t just sci-fi gimmicks, they’re woven into the emotional core of the story. Ethan’s internal war between duty and desire struck a chord with me. He’s a character who starts out commanding and composed, only to be slowly and methodically unraveled. And Anaisa is the heart of the book. Fierce, brilliant, but haunted. Her slow dance between empowerment and submission made her feel utterly real. And then there’s Dr. Bennett—seductive, sadistic, and absolutely terrifying in the best way. I hated her. I feared her. I was riveted by her.
At times, the eroticism felt heavy, and the psychological games Bennett plays, though chilling, sometimes strayed into over-the-top villainy. Still, I admired how Schneider used sensuality not just for heat, but to explore identity, control, and the ways trauma clings to us in unexpected ways. The prose flits between stark, almost clinical observation and poetic sensuality, which kept me off-balance, in a good way. The story thrives on tension, and the love triangle is both steamy and agonizing. I felt the ache of their choices, the way intimacy gets twisted in the gravity of power. And that final moment of self-doubt Ethan experiences stuck with me. It’s rare for a sci-fi novel to leave me feeling so bruised and breathless.
Gynarchy’s Collar is not for the faint of heart. It’s erotic, intense, and unapologetically subversive. But if you’re drawn to stories that blend sci-fi spectacle with intimate human messiness, and if you’re into high-concept world-building with sharp emotional stakes, this one’s worth your time. I’d recommend it to fans of The Expanse, Dune, and Fifty Shades of Grey. It’s a rare cocktail: space opera meets dark romance with a psychological edge. - Literary Titan Review
