It was meant to be a routine cargo delivery to a backwater planet. If only it was that easy. His ship seized, his cargo gone, Jack Lawson finds himself in the custody of a vile corporation entangled in a bloody war for resources. Armed with only a sword he is sent to the surface with only two options: fight, or die. But when he escapes the chaos of battle he quickly finds himself alone on a wild and desperate planet – until he meets the handsome and mysterious Matt. Together the pair strikes out towards their only salvation, an atmospheric lift that will bring them back to the station – and hopefully freedom. The only question is: Can they survive the journey?
