| 520 | _a"The Protector" by Betsy Curtis is a science fiction novel written in the early 1950s. The story revolves around a unique boxer named Pierre, who hails from a race of beings known as the Anestha, characterized by their inability to feel pain. The narrative explores themes of cultural identity, struggle against oppression, and the instinct to protect one's kin as Pierre and his manager, Joe, journey to Gorlin, Pierre's home planet, to uncover the troubles facing his people and help them resist exploitation. The plot unfolds as Joe, who manages fighters, takes Pierre back to his homeland after he becomes concerned about the well-being of the Anestha. Upon arrival, they discover that the Anestha are being abused by a ruthless mine owner, who belittles them and exploits their labor. The situation escalates as Pierre confronts this oppressive figure, eventually using his boxing skills to stand up for his family and community. Through Pierre's fight and the duo's determination, the story highlights the importance of defending one's heritage and challenging injustice, ultimately transforming Pierre from a boxer into a protector of his people.
