Cole Raymer crash-lands across the jagged wastes of an uncharted hostile world while racing to deliver life-saving synthesis drugs to his dying mother on Earth. Enslaved by an autocratic galactic warlord, he is tossed into the blood-soaked subterranean arena known throughout the star system as the Pit.
The alien planet's low gravitational density grants Cole's terrestrial musculature godlike leaping ability and devastating kinetic power.
