About This Book

Every two and a half years, for the last 6000 years, 18
'beings' have been taken, some voluntarily and some without conscious will, from
each of the 136 civilized planets, to compete in the ultimate survival
competition, referred to as 'The Galaxy Battle
League'.


From a field of over
2,500 participants, and over a minimum of 13 battle rounds, only one winner will
be left standing - and will be crowned 'Battle Champion'.
Capturing the unrivaled focus of all 'connected' planets, the league's
field of metal stadiums will see challengers use whatever means they can to
outlast their opponent in order to continue to the next round.


Each deadly battle round is set
against a different environmental background which can often be altered during
the course of the battle itself.

The primary tool in the
competition is one's ability to manipulate the simplest of universal
forces. Known to earth as 'gravity', the potential impact of this
delicate skill is far more powerful than any weapon, more useful than any tool
and stronger than any fist.


Not
one of over 40,000 previous competitors from Earth have been able to pass the
opening round, which is the requirement for any unconnected planet, to become a
knowing participant of the league and take advantage of the enormous financial
rewards at stake.


That is until
2024.


'With the blanket of
blindness dipped in lighter fluid and lit before its eyes, the planet, known to
the rest of the Universe as Tuis, will finally awaken'.



...
from the cover..


Little is known of Tuis within the Galaxies.
A
quiet planet that sits within the Universe like a tennis ball on the neighbour's
roof.
A relatively intelligent species, the inhabitants of Tuis are not the
first to have crucially mis understand the force they refer to as
gravity.

Through closed eyes the young planet of Tuis have witnessed
countless cases of its manipulation, from unique stories of short term strength
to a religious mans ability to walk on water.

More than 2,500 visits have
seen more than 40,000 inhabitants of the planet taken to compete and with each
and every one, the planets' opportunity for awakening, has failed before it
really begun.

Unbeknowns and out of sight for so long, its lonely dance
through space will come to an end when it is finally granted connection to the
unique GBL network and essentially the Universe, something only facilitated once
at least one being from that planet has successfully passed the first
round.

The primary species of Tuis will refer to this day, locally, as
the 30th August, 2024.

Welcome to part 1 of the epic 8 part
series.
