To the Edge of Sharlan

"Sharlan: free man. This is the edge of the last human bastion. With all the resistance and violence being met with from other species, Chorell had hoped that he would be the last thing on humanity's mind. But when his experiment with joining minds with one of the Jal'nei, a race of aliens newly come to the attack on humanity, is discovered he finds himself hunted by his own, an already rare and almost extinct species. Now, with the swarming noise of the Jal'nei offensive clouding his mind, Chorell must venture out of Sharlan to survive his own as well as humanity's enemies."

And this is established...
The main character: Chorell
An antagonist: The Jal'nei, as well as humanity
Location: Sharlan, the outer reaches of the last human bastion 
Major conflict: Chorell's life as a hunted other by both his own race and the aliens around him

Now to decide if we catch up with this poor guy while he's running or start it from earlier on. Do I want to Tarantino? I suppose that will be decided later. I do tend to start somewhere and then go back and add things to the beginning. So I don't feel too worried.

I at last now have a plot (of some sort) and enough conflict to reason with.
