Between a Rock and a Hard-Face

In the 2025 edition of Elliot Freund's classic of fantasy and the female-led, indentured servitude is illegal. But it is not dead. And especially not on the Indian Subcontinent! Read on, as a philandering, dishonest, and recently divorced, forty-something Los Angeleno loses heavily during a drunken poker game and sees his life change even more for the worse. For the man to whom he has lost the money is a vicious and ruthless crystal-meth supplier who leaves no slight - and no debt - unavenged. A terrifying prospect that leads the former man-about-town and womanizer to accept the offer of help made to him by the female friend of his former wife. An acceptance that will see him transplanted to another continent and lead to his becoming little more than the indentured American of both his wife's friend and the Indian family into whom she herself has just married. His service vouched for by the crystal-meth dealer himself! Believable fantasy and misadventure in the world of female-led fiction, for those readers with a desire to have a light shone on the more.
