The Ninth Roman Legion didn't fall in the wilds of Caledonia or the forests of Germania. They were stolen away — snatched from the battlefield by the Yonath Anunnaki, forced to fight and die in the brutal arenas of an alien empire. Now, with the planet Thera Three enslaved by the iron fist of Gishma, a new supply of gladiators has been found: the Adamu. Countless innocents are shipped across the stars to fuel the bloody games of Master Kollexx, where they will be sacrificed for the entertainment of the bloodthirsty Anunnaki.
