Two hundred years into our future, in the remains of what was once known as the United States, an influential politician begins to undertake the riskiest venture in the history of mankind. He plans to use the technological phenomenon, Time Snare, to seize six fighters from the distant past and use them as pawns in his quest to produce the greatest spectacle of his time. If successful, he will become one of the most powerful men in the world.
The six combatants, Samurai, Ninja, Viking, Gladiator, Soldier and Prisoner are ripped unwittingly from their reality and given an ultimatum by their captor, they can choose to fight in the “People’s Contest”, a gladiatorial battle to the death, or face immediate execution - one a chance at life, the other, certain death.
In this enthralling, at times brutal, novella, the first instalment of his science fiction trilogy “Time Snare”, the sensational new author Scott Medbury weaves a fast paced blockbuster that is sure to leave you gasping for more. Show More Show Less
Loved the idea of this book...but it wasn't executed very well. First the lengthy introduction to each character in their time made it hard to identify and start caring about one. Then the actual fighting was much shorter than the intros. And the epilogue just sucked. i mean seriouslyit had me saying what was the point?!
