“When you’re born, you give up one percent of your life. When you die, that’s the last percent. Make the other ninety-eight percent count.”
Chet Morton, high school dropout and artist wannabe, keeps his late father’s adage in mind when he is kidnapped by an evil tyrant. King Koso, ruler of the Allurian race, enters our dimension from his and takes Chet to the distant world of Majione. The purpose? Koso needs artists and scribes who will detail his glorious conquests of the far-flung worlds in his universe.
Knowing nothing about the fine art of writing, Chet is thrown into captivity on Majione and meets his fellow prisoners, Litro, Gall-Tan, and Angyalla, a bird woman. The four prisoners are trained to become writers and also warriors, and live a lonely and desperate existence under the evil king Koso.
They train, cover bloody and deadly matches, and along the way, Chet and Angyalla find they have a lot more in common than they think. When it comes time for them to make their escape, only Chet makes it out and takes refuge with the planet’s inhabitants in an underground shelter.
He cannot forget Angyalla, though, and decides to rescue her as well as to somehow defeat Koso. It’s time to make his ninety-eight percent count…or die trying.
