Second Chance III: Scroll Seeker
by R. Richard

Justin prepares for an arbitration hearing to decide if he’ll die as a result of being a Kivosh. He begins to discover the power of the alien language he’s learning. He is then subjected to PCP charges because of his Kivosh status, but is able to convince the Arbitrator that the charges are based upon conclusions, not facts. They then charge that he is in possession of banned technology, specifically anti-gravitation. He produces the math that he supposedly used to produce his own anti-gravitational device and is cleared of the charges against him.

The Arquellian Arbitrator then tells Justin, privately, that they need to recover a stolen manuscript, but won’t describe it. However, the order to Justin is, Recover the manuscript or die. He does manage to get information that the manuscript the Arquellians seek is in the possession of the Priests of Vorell. Justin returns to Alvero, where he and Ashoro once failed to gain the manuscript that is obviously the one the Arquellians want. Justin talks to the High Priest and convinces him that the Arquellians will soon raid the Temple to acquire the manuscript. The High Priest agrees to give the manuscript to Justin if he can kill him in an unarmed combat duel, so that no one will know that Justin has the manuscript.

After the circus, a large Aozoran colony ship is discovered, heading to Corin, probably to join the Aozoran colony there. However, the colony ship won’t answer hail. A team needs to be sent to investigate. Justin is maneuvered into leading the team. It’s an obvious attempt to kill the Kivosh. He leads the team and survives the attempt to kill him. When he returns to Fori Novor, Justin finds that drug smuggling into Averon is on the decline due to his sky pirates ripping off the delivery ships. Instead, the drugs are being warehoused in an island off the coast of Averon. Justins troops raid the warehouses and steal the drugs.

About Author :

"I am the co-author, with Sunset Thomas, of Anatomy of An Adult Film. I have 15 novels and over 200 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 am a skilled Kung-Fu player, using a system I learned from a Korean I knew only as ‘Pak.’ It would be easier to tell you the places where Pak was not wanted by the police 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 would not 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.]
