As usual, Jason's plans go awry. Very soon people begin to die — and die quite horribly. They have awakened something beneath the planet's surface that's feasting on human brains. And when a ship full of hard-bitten female convicts arrives in the skies above the desolate world, the situation becomes even more complicated. | As usual, Jason's plans go awry.

Someone is pulling the strings and watching the carnage. It could be any of the desperate prisoners, the reclusive crew, or the suspicious governor. Not knowing who the true foe is, Jason calls for help. Assistance arrives in the form of his old companion [[Christopher Cwej]] — just the man you'd want by your side in a tricky situation. But something terrible has happened to Chris, and now he can't even remember his own name. | Someone is pulling the strings and watching the carnage.
