A really good space alien novel is 'Dune' by Frank Herbert. Although the focus is more on the desert planet Arrakis and its politics, there are elements of alien-like creatures, such as the sandworms. The complex world - building and the unique ecology make it a must - read. Also, 'Hyperion' by Dan Simmons is excellent. It has different characters' stories that are all related to the mystery of the alien - created Time Tombs on the planet Hyperion.
Some fictions portray space rock alien governments as having a strict caste system. Each caste has specific roles within the government and society. For example, the warrior caste might be in charge of defense, while the scientist caste is responsible for research and development. This is different from the more fluid class systems in human societies.
The 'black jockey story' might also be a fictional account inspired by the real - life history of black jockeys. It could explore themes like perseverance in the face of adversity, the pursuit of a dream in a world that was often hostile. It might tell of how a black jockey overcame the odds, whether it was through his sheer skill on the horse, his ability to form alliances with certain trainers or owners who were more open - minded, or his unwavering determination to succeed in a sport that was slowly shutting its doors to people of his race.
The lawn jockey has a history that's tied to various cultural and historical elements. Some say it originated as a symbol of hospitality, while others believe it has deeper, more complex roots.
Space rock alien governments in novels can also offer new perspectives on power dynamics. They could be ruled by a single all - powerful entity, like a super - intelligent alien dictator. Or perhaps they have a more democratic setup but with entirely different voting mechanisms or representation models compared to what we know on Earth.
Without having read 'the jockey short story', it's hard to say exactly. But the most obvious main character would be the jockey. In addition to that, if the story delves into the racing environment, there could be other characters like the stable hands who take care of the horse, the people who bet on the races, and the family or friends of the jockey who support or influence him in different ways. The horse, of course, is also likely to be a key character as it is an essential part of the jockey's world.
Well, I think it would be truly terrifying if the alien could control your mind. You'd be trapped on the spaceship, aware that your body is doing things against your will. Maybe it makes you open the airlock to let in more of its kind, while you're screaming inside your head to stop.
