The Academy is a full length novel incorporating independent short stories by guest writers. Karen Taylor, Michael Hernandez, David Stein, M. Christian and Celia Tan delve into the world of the Marketplace and turn up tales of power, sex and surrender...the kinds of stories Trainers tell each other to inspire, teach or warm.
Now in service as a junior trainer, Michael LaGuardia joins Chris Parker and dozens of other trainers at The Academy, the annual international gathering of trainers and spotters, and learns more about the lives of the men and women who train the exquisite Marketplace slaves...including the mysterious Chris Parker himself. But more is going on at the Academy than storytelling. What is Chris Parker's mission during this Academy and why is the 'Trainer of Trainers', Anderson, not there? Who are the top slave trainers in the world, and how do they work? Will Michael LaGuardia, now in service as a junior trainer, ever understand the essence of submission or ownership? In addition, in a special novelette begun for this book, when did Chris Parker first meet Anderson and how did he enter the Marketplace? Softcover, 405 pages.
