The bonus story from "The Trainer" is now available as a stand-alone single ebook. Michael LaGuardia attends one of Geoff Negel's orgiastic Marketplace play parties, but all is not well in this California paradise. In this prequel to "The Trainer," Michael gets his first inkling that ownership and slavehood don't confer instant perfection, and fantasy isn't reality.
