{"product_id":"2940046569100","title":"Blue Star World","description":"\u003cp\u003eDespite his employment contract, Jal Vorn is one of the exiles to a unique planet with unknown long term heath risks.\u003cbr\u003eWhen he arrives on Blue Star World, his supervisor, Nartar Convre, tries to demote Jal Vorn from skilled computer programmer, to low paid clerk.\u003cbr\u003eJal refuses and is fired, on the spot, again despite his employment contract.\u003cbr\u003eJal manages to find employment with the Firver, aliens who run Blue Star World.\u003cbr\u003eNartar Convre then finds a loophole in Firver law that will allow him to subject Jal to a sequence of death duels, against larger, stronger foes.\u003cbr\u003eJal is forced to fight. However, Jal was a national champion fencer. Under Firver law, that makes Jal equivalent to a Fiver Noble.\u003cbr\u003eAt the first of the death duels, Jal is faced with an opponent who's hugely strong and nearly twice his size.\u003cbr\u003eThe Firver then announce, “Mr. Arvan Glencie, Lord Jal Vorn has accepted your challenge and he will fight you with the traditional Noble weapons of sword and dagger, as is his right.”\u003cbr\u003eDespite protests by Nartar Convre and Arvan Glencie, the duel proceeds as scheduled.\u003cbr\u003eJal wins the duel and then finds that he feels a marked boost in his being and a great hunger, as a result.\u003cbr\u003eAfter a few duels, Jal is ordered to report to on Kyra, for counseling. Jal doesn't need counseling, he wants Kyra. However, Jal is too short for Kyra, but a measurement reveals that Jal is growing.\u003cbr\u003eJal and Kyra then conduct a sort of distant relationship, with Kyra not too interested in a man as short as Jal and a man who risks his life on a regular basis.\u003cbr\u003eKyra, however, begins to see the changes in Jal.\u003cbr\u003eThe war that the Firver are fighting isn't going well. Jal is helping the Firver effort, but he can only do so much.\u003cbr\u003eIt then becomes likely that the Firver will have to abandon Blue Star World.\u003cbr\u003eIn order to have a chance to leave, if the Firver leave, Kyra moves in with Jal.\u003cbr\u003eThen the Firver's enemy moves in a giant battlewagon and it appears that the inhabitants of Blue Star World will become slaves of the Firver's enemies.\u003cbr\u003eHowever, Kyra is Jal's lady and he has to figure out a way to prevent the enemy from winning Blue Star World.\u003cbr\u003eWith the help of Kyra and some of the Firver ladies, Jal develops a desperate plan that may let them survive as free people.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"R.
