The Chosen
CADE CARTER IS LOST
Convicted
of a crime he didn't commit, Cade is facing a year in reform school
when he finds himself suddenly transported to another realm.
BUT THIS NEW WORLD IS NO ESCAPE
Populated
by bloodthirsty prehistoric creatures and fierce warriors, Cade's
surroundings are full of danger. Along with his fellow students, Cade is
forced to become a contender in a deadly game of the highest stakes,
controlled by invisible overlords.
Who are these brutal rulers, and why did they choose Cade? Before he can find answers, Cade must get ready to fight ...
The Challenger
CADE CARTER HAS BEEN CHOSEN
In
a realm of monsters and warriors, Cade is an unwilling contender in a
deadly tournament controlled by the brutal alien overlord Abaddon.
Cade
may have won the first round but the fight isn't over yet. For his next
battle he must duel a seven-foot-tall, clawed monster - the reigning
champion of an alien race.
LOSING WILL LEAD TO EARTH'S DESTRUCTION
Desperate
for anything that may give him an advantage, Cade sets off on an
expedition into the jungle to scavenge weaponry to help him win. But
there he is captured by gladiators, and before he knows it he finds
himself participating in a deadly new game where the prize is his
freedom.
ROUND TWO IS ABOUT TO BEGIN ...
The Champion
CADE AND HIS FRIENDS ARE FIGHTING FOR EARTH
Cade has managed to survive the duel with the Hydra Alpha - barely. But the Games are far from over.
By
order of the cruel and mysterious alien overlord, Abaddon, Cade and his
friends are sent off to war against the Greys, a humanoid race who have
far surpassed humans in technology on their home planet.
A GLIMMER OF HOPE?
This
attempt to move up the leaderboard leads Cade to a game-changing
revelation: The Pantheon - the millennia-old alien masterminds behind
the Games - have a weakness.
With
the right artefacts scavenged from the land of Acies and a heavy dose
of courage and luck, Cade has exactly one chance to end their tyranny
for ever. But if he fails, for the lives of his friends and the survival
of Earth it will be ...
