Autor: Claudia Christian , Morgan Grant Buchanan

Número de Páginas: 0

In the Galactic Roman Empire, eight noble houses fight for power. One gladiator fights for justice. This is Wolf's Empire: Gladiator, by Claudia Christian and Morgan Grant Buchanan. When her mother and brother are murdered, young noblewoman Accala Viridius cries out for vengeance. But the empire is being torn apart by a galactic civil war, and her demands fall on deaf ears. Undeterred, Accala sacrifices privilege and status to train as a common gladiator. Mastering the one weapon available to her—a razor-sharp discus that always returns when thrown--she enters the deadly imperial games, the only arena where she can face her enemies. But Fortune's wheel grants Accala no favors—the emperor decrees that the games will be used to settle the civil war, the indigenous lifeforms of the arena-world are staging a violent revolt, and Accala finds herself drugged, cast into slavery and forced to fight on the side of the men she set out to kill. Set in a future Rome that never fell, but instead expanded to become a galaxy-spanning empire, Accala's struggle to survive and exact her revenge will take her on a dark journey that will cost her more than she ever imagined.

Gladiator is the tale of Hugo Danner, a man endowed from birth with extraodinary strength and speed. But Danner is no altruist. He spends his life trying to cope with his abilities, becoming a sports hero in college, later a sideshow act, a war hero, never truly finding peace with himself.

Gladiator concerns a scientist who invents an "alkaline free-radical" serum to "improve" humankind by granting the proportionate strength of an ant and the leaping ability of the grasshopper. The scientist injects his pregnant wife with the serum and his son Hugo Danner is born with superhuman strength, speed, and bulletproof skin. Hugo spends much of the novel hiding his powers, rarely getting a chance to openly use them. The novel is widely assumed to have been an inspiration for Superman, though no confirmation exists that Superman creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster were influenced by it.

Modern Gladiators

Autor: Carol Robi

Número de Páginas: 222

How far would you go for the ones you love, how much would you sacrifice for them? Your life? More? It's the year 3052, and life on earth has remained unchanged, for the most part of it. Five years ago, circumstances forced her hands, and Raine found herself in a place where morality could be her death. As one of the most successful modern gladiators in history, she's found a balance between honour, duty and love, a balance that has kept her sane and alive this long, because she's always kept the three separate. But a day does come when the three principles clash, pulling her in different directions, her sanity and her life hanging in the balance, as well as the lives of those she cares about. Michael is the most successful modern gladiator yet, an enigma to all including himself. Battling against the aftereffects of an atypical life whose rules he'd made up himself, he finds one who has the power to force him to redefine himself, and maybe even seek redemption.
