Champion

About the Book

It was an age of war and oppression, a time when the blood-spattered arena of life and death combat had become the spectator sport of choice. Condemned to the arena for life, Thirteen was on his way to Bracken's Rock to once again step out before a blood-crazed audience and kill when the ship within which he was imprisoned was pulled off course through the layered universes and to a place that you and I might call hell. There, Thirteen would learn that all of the battles he'd fought in the past were mere training for what now lay in store.
