Book 4: The Academy
|















Book Four, the Academy, takes up where The Trainer leaves off,with Chris Parker taking junior trainer Michael LaGuardia to an annual meeting of Trainers and Spotters in Okinawa. This book explores both the strict, hidden order behind the men and women who train the exquisite Marketplace slaves and the mysteries behind the life of Mr. Parker himself. To add to the sense of multiple voices and cultural differences, author Laura Antoniou invited friends to create short stories, told in the voices of various trainers and spotters, and woven through the primary tale. Politics and sex abound in this “novelogy,” and fans of Chris Parker will learn even more about how he first met Anderson and entered the Marketplace. |
How did they do this on a regular basis, Michael thought, as Ken discussed his explanation and apology with Marcy. How can any human being sleep at night knowing that at any moment, they can be stripped naked and made to do humiliating things in front of people – people they might have to deal with later on?
