    About this ebook

    Just One More Little Job ...
    Justin Fentar is forced to make his living running leaf narcotic from the jungle to Nollar city.
    Then one Blosta Veran if the Septagon Group that abandoned Justin on planet Omicron 4, reappears.
    Justin Fentar is to be required to do, “Just one more little job for the Septagon Group”
    Justin is to find the legendary Gate of Areen, or die.

    Extract:
    A commotion well behind Justin, signals the fact that the ones tracking Justin have lost (or found again) his trail. A dark shadow in the canyon at the far end of the boulder wall rises up and, perhaps scans the ridge road. The shadow then moves up, toward the top of the ridge.
    Justin rolls in the dirt at the base of the boulder wall and then moves quickly but erratically across the ridge road into the relative safety of the wind scoured canyons just South of the ridge road. As Justin disappears into the labyrinth of canyons, he changes direction and then pauses for a bit to check his back trail. There’s no sign of immediate pursuit. However, a careful man will spend extra time and extra miles changing direction and climbing walls that a dog will have to be carried up. It’ll be hard work for a very tired Justin, but he’s a careful man; always! He has to be careful, his freedom and maybe his life are at stake.
    It takes quite a while, but Justin finally slips into a dark alley, at the edge of Nollar. He then slinks along several alleys until he finally gets to the back door of Roonda’s place.
    A quiet knock on the door finally opens the door a crack. A voice asks, “You got the stuff?”
    Justin replies, “As always. Prime grade.”
    The door opens and Justin goes in.
    Chapter 2: Comes The Executive
    Blosta Veran isn’t happy. First, he has had to make a journey to Omicron 4 via freight carrier, instead of passenger liner. The accommodations don’t nearly match the expectations of a Senior Vice President of the Septagon Group and the interaction with the freight carrier crew had been nasty and insulting. Once on the ground, the surly, undependable natives have demonstrated their rather nasty untrustworthiness to the maximum. After he has arrived at Nollar, the mountain capital, Blosta is unable to immediately find Justin Fentar. Again, the surly undependable natives find ways to amply demonstrate their rather nasty untrustworthiness.
    After paying considerably more bribe money than he had intended to pay, Blosta Veran at last finds the elusive Justin Fentar. However, the meeting doesn’t go well. It seems that Justin is still a bit unhappy about being marooned on Omicron 4 by the Septagon Group. Well, no real problem for Blosta Veran. He has managed to relieve Justin Fentar of his bank account, admittedly by means of a bribe of several times the value of that bank account, but no matter.
    Mr. Justin Fentar then has to come to terms with the assignment that Blosta Veran has for him. Justin will find the legendary Gate of Areen, or die trying. With the gate located, of course Justin will die. The idea of a minor employee trying to extort money from the Septagon Group is intolerable. The ridiculous laws that try to bankrupt a business by trying to force them to pay for the return to hire point of employees no longer needed will have, once again, been circumvented by the superior intellect of Septagon upper management.
    Admittedly, it would have been even nicer if Blosta Veran had been able to convince the local authorities to prosecute Justin Fentar for smuggling leaf. However, since nearly everyone in Nollar is a user of leaf, the prosecution of Justin Fentar has proved impractical. Oh, it might have been accomplished, but the bribes involved would have been truly enormous.
    In any case, Mr. Justin Fentar has been dispatched for, (Blosta rolls the scene through his mind again,) “... just one more little job for the Septagon Group and then we’ll settle all accounts, once and for all.”

    R. Richard

    I'm the co-author, with Sunset Thomas, of Anatomy of An Adult Film.I have 48 novels and over 299 short stories currently published.I spent my early years in the part of Los Angeles known as the South Central. I was known as Whi' Boy, which was sufficient to identify me in that place. I'm a skilled Kung Fu player, using a system that I learned from a Korean I knew only as 'Pak.' It would be easier to tell you the places that Pak wasn't wanted by the police, rather than the places where he was wanted by the police. Pak's Kung Fu system, augmented by some bits and pieces from some Chinese practitioners is quick and effective, or I wouldn't be alive today.My early education was mostly obtained by stealing books from the public library (I always returned them and the Librarian even began to provide me with reading lists.) I did go to high schools, but I never really learned anything there. I eventually graduated from the University of California at Los Angeles, UCLA, with a degree in mathematics.I work as a Systems Analyst and also make a part of my living as a professional gambler (legal in Nevada.) I write science fiction and erotica. My published novels are:Anatomy of An Adult Film (With Sunset Thomas)1. Second Chance: God Killer2. Second Chance: Sky Pirate3. Second Chance: Scroll Seeker4.

      Chapter 1: Leaf Runner

      Justin Fentar moves cautiously through the underbrush. He has been working steadily East, through the night. A stealthy movement, however, continues just to his West. He’s being tracked. That’s not too unusual, or normally too bothersome. However, this tracker has kept with Justin all night. Not many have the endurance to track Justin so far, at least not at the pace Justin is setting. Just up the hill is the ridge road and then an easy ten miles into Nollar. It has been a long hard night already for Justin and a bit of ease is tempting. However, the iron discipline, that’s Justin’s main means of survival, takes over.

      The easy route is too easy; it has earlier occurred to Justin that he’s being herded. Now, no one patrols the ridge road; except, maybe tonight. There’s another, safer, way, through the wind scoured canyons just North of the ridge road. The canyon route will be at least twice as long. However, the canyon route won’t be as long as the route through the forced labor camp, if they catch him with leaf.

      Although he moves slowly and cautiously, Justin’s mind works quickly. If they have tracked him this far, they’re using dogs, or more probably a dog. Justin can’t outrun a dog. However, Justin can out think a dog. Justin moves along the dim trail, past a ledge of some eight to ten feet in height. As the ground dips away to the West, a blast of wind greets Justin. Perfect, he thinks! Justin very carefully backtracks a bit and then leaps and catches the top of one of the lower spots on the ledge. He pulls himself up quickly, ignoring his fatigue. He then begins to move quickly but quietly along the higher ground that runs up from the top of the ledge.

      Justin has his choice of two small canyons that will eventually run into the ridge road. Naturally, Justin chooses neither canyon, but continues up near the top of the little ridge. If anyone waits, they’ll watch the canyons, not the ridges. As Justin reaches the edge of the ridge road, he’s perhaps 20 feet above the narrow dirt track, at the top of a sloping wall of huge boulders. Justin works his way through the boulders down to the edge of the ridge road. A commotion well behind Justin, signals the fact that the ones tracking Justin have lost (or found again) his trail. A dark shadow in
