Five legendary warriors. One futuristic arena. The ultimate fight for survival.

From Scott Medbury, the author of the post-apocalyptic bestseller America Falls, comes a high-octane sci-fi thriller that pits history's deadliest killers against one another.

2198 AD. The Tri-States of America is a crumbling dystopia on the brink of anarchy. To quell the riots and distract the mob, the ruling Council needs a spectacle. They need blood.

Using the experimental Time Snare technology, Legate Anastadis plucks five warriors from the exact moment of their deaths and drags them into a terrifying future:

• The Samurai: A master of the katana bound by honor.
• The Viking: A berserker fueled by rage and raw power.
• The Gladiator: A tactician who has survived the sands of Rome.
• The Ninja: A shadow assassin who strikes without warning.
• The Convict: A modern-day psychopath with nothing to lose.

They have been given a choice: fight in the 75th Annual People's Contest or face immediate execution. But this isn't just a battle against each other. To win their freedom, they must survive the Council's genetically enhanced champion-a man bred for slaughter.

History says they are already dead. The future has other plans.

Fans of The Hunger Games, Deadliest Warrior, and Gladiator will love this fast-paced, visceral clash of centuries.
