The Viand

Nathan Roberts, a Law Enforcement Officer, from Chicago, awakes and finds that he has been kidnapped, is naked and shackled to a steel cage by chains. He soon discovers that there are dozens of men, like him, imprisoned in cages. What is going on? On talking to the men he soon discovers a link between them all but why they had been taken still remained a mystery. Every morning some of the men are dragged from their cages and taken away but why? When one of the men that had been taken, is returned to his cage and is traumatised by what he had seen. Nathan discovers that he is not on Earth but on a distant and savage planet and that the men are being kept as food and are referred to as The Viand. When the inevitable happens and Nathan is dragged from his cage, he knows that he will have to come up with a plan of escape or be eaten alive by these savage aliens. An opportunity of escape arises, when he holds a female alien captive and he and the men are eventually released. With the help of the alien female, they manage to escape onto a spacecraft, when it arrives with more captives. With time running out, the female tries to stall the aliens from storming the ship, so that they can get away. How will it all end?
