The Men of Boru

"The Men of Boru" by Jack A. Nelson is a mid-20th century science fiction novella that tells the story of eight brave men fighting for freedom against an iron-fisted ruler. The story follows Sten and his companions on a perilous rescue mission into the heart of the city of Panamia, where they plan to free enslaved women and dismantle the dehumanizing system led by the shadowy figure "The Leader". The men encounter people, such as Kathryn, who are trapped in numb obedience, and Sten has an awakening realizing the difficult struggles he's up against. Together, Sten and his companions confront the stark reality of ignorance, while they hold onto their determination in hope of a better tomorrow, making sacrifices to find a place where people are truly free.
