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.
