In the future, humans have formed an intergalactic empire ruled by aristocrats. During a time of war with the Plith, an empire of ant-like alien bug people, ambassador John Craig, a formerly Liberal Earth man in his 30s, is dispatched to the strategically important planet Kossar, a human colony that was settled by the Carlyle Society as a place of exile for political extremists and now is ruled by an oligarchical high council of seven nobles, each of whom is in charge of a different domain with its own traditions. Their boredom and absolute power have driven them to madness, to the point that Kossar's entry into the empire has been stymied by the Man-Inhabited Planets Treaty's clause (written by Craig) against alliances with slave owning societies, due to its practice of kidnapping humans to become illegal playthings of the galaxy's super-rich.

Space Relations saw increased public attention after Barr's former employee Jeffrey Epstein died in a jail cell due to the similarities between the violent sexual depictions in Space Relations and Epstein's sex trafficking activities and obsessions. Sellers of the novel on eBay explicitly advertise its connection to Epstein in their descriptions of it.[5] It was also included as a key plot point in the season 4 finale of the legal drama The Good Fight.
