    An interesting story. At the beginning, a 71-year-old man is living out the tag end of a rotten life in poverty. Glarney Fered is a systems analyst and a blackbelt in the self defense art of Loro. He's a very good systems analyst and can defeat men half his age in hand combat. However neither skill is of much use to a 71-year-old man. However, Glarney is hired as a bodyguard for a religious figure. The job results in a very realistic search through a gritty, inner-city environment. There's a lot of action.
    At the conclusion of the search, ther is a classic scifi battle between Glarney and his client. Glarney kills his client, in self defense and, in the process, Glarney eats the client’s life force. Glarney then finds himself growing a bit younger.
    Glarney then begins an epic journey to try to obtain more life force. The next stop involves drug smugglers. The drug smuggler turn out to be aliens and Glarney is captured by alien police. However, the aliens need Glarney to track down one of the escaped drug smugglers. Glarney comes to realize that he's to be killed when he does track down the alien drug smuggler.
    However, Glarney is clever and won't just give up his second chance!
