description: Jason Vale has just been unceremoniously dumped by his long-time boyfriend and decides he could use a change of scenery; what he gets instead is a change of world. After setting out on a road trip to 'find himself' he barely gets a mile before a freakish storm sets him down on a tundra of silver grass with a alien sky overhead. This world is called Skoria and it soon turns hungry eyes toward him most keenly in the form of Aedar Rictus the cyborg pirate who covets him as a pet. Collared and chained to Aedar's will Jason slowly comes to realize two uncomfortable truths: first he is not entirely unhappy as Aedar's property and second the chains that bind him to his new owner go both ways. An unexpected mind-link between cyborg and human throws the certainties of brutal Skorian law into disarray. With pleasure and pain linking them in a feedback loop of sensations the boundaries between owner and property--machine and man--begin to blur. (updated 2019 edition)
