Quarreling, They Met the Dragon

Senruh, tribeless slave, boytoy, and potential main course, hasn't much to hope for except to be kept as a pampered pet by some indulgent member of the ruling class on this lost-colony planet where the only digestible protein is human flesh. Except for two things. There are Outsiders on his recently rediscovered planet who have given refuge to others inside their high-tech compound. And there is Pell, a tall-as-a-ruler, golden-haired, prickly, barbarian youth recently captured as a slave, who escapes into Senruh's welcoming hands.
