Slavery, we read about it in our schools of distant times, in our daily papers when sweat shops are found and closed down, brothels raided and girls released. But slavery exists world wide and many young men and women disappear into its clutches every year, heading to the white slavery trade in the Middle east. This story is fictional and concerns a young man who, on his way to an archaeological dig site, is captured and sentenced to death by firing squad bu then his sentence is commuted to a life of servitude and he is sold as a slave. For four years he suffers degradation and inhumane treatment but then is sold. His new Master is a leader of his country and he rises to be his head of security, willing to lay down his life for his Master. He saves his Master several times from assassination attempts and when his Master's aircraft is shot down by his enemies he has to find the perpetrators. Can a slave find he likes serving a ruthless Master? Can a man find he enjoys being a slave and feels he was born to be a slave and to enjoy his chains? My Life in Chains studies this possibility.
