  Consignment - In a World of...

  Alan E. Nourse

  Twenty-seven years in prison is long enough for the world to forget you. When John Krenner finally breaks free, he discovers that freedom now comes wrapped in automation, speed, and systems that no longer require people to function. His determination drives him forward, but every mile reveals a future that operates without hesitation, judgment, or mercy. The tension in Consignment comes not from whether events will unfold, but from how completely they are already in motion. 
  Alan E. Nourse crafts a tightly controlled thriller about momentum and consequence. This is science fiction at its most unsettling, where progress is efficient, impersonal, and irreversible. As Krenner pushes deeper into a mechanized society, the story strips away familiar assumptions about control, justice, and revenge. The result is a chilling reminder that technology does not care who you are—or why you act—only that the system continues to run. 
  Alan E. Nourse was both a physician and a prolific science fiction writer, known for blending technical plausibility with human stakes. His stories frequently explore the unintended consequences of progress, especially when systems outgrow the people who built them. Consignment stands as one of his most direct and haunting examinations of a future that works exactly as intended.

  Karen Hartley is a charismatic agent in the British Secret Intelligence Service. She and her fellow SIS agent, Fiona Mossop, are assigned to investigate and expose a powerful syndicate operating between England, South Africa and Far Eastern Countries engaging in illegal poaching of rhino horns, elephant tusk and lion bones “sets”.  
  Mark Warner, a South African banker, wildlife conservation writer and documentary maker is also a SIS agent in Africa, and becomes involved when his daughter Annabelle suggests recruiting Karen Hartley to investigate and hunt down the heads of the syndicate after his wife, a passionate ecologist and anti-poaching campaigner, is murdered whilst researching the slaughter of black and white rhino in the Kruger National Park.  
  Karen and Fiona use their intellect and skill to track down a syndicate operating in a private game reserve where a large number of rhino are still to be found. The syndicates use poor local Mozambican males who risk their lives being lured over the border and with machete in hand, to hack the horn off rhino be it dead or alive, revealing the lengths they will go for sexual gratification, power and greed, pushing the price of rhino horn to an alarmingly high commodity, more expensive than gold, diamonds and heroin.
