Hard Time Havoc - Dead Core, #1

In 2257, there are only two ways out of a Sonic City prison-either in a body bag or as a contestant on Hard Time Havoc. Keeno regularly dreamed of being selected for the ultimate televised show of death and destruction, anything to escape that hellhole of a prison. And now, here he was-a competitor second-guessing himself. No one could blame him. Any sane person would hesitate when facing off against some of the vilest criminals ever to fester in the city and its prisons.
Teamed up in a squad with two other inmates he had never met before, they are hot-dropped onto an island for a fight to the death. Seventy-two hours. Twenty squads enter. Only one team can leave. If Keeno thinks facing the seemingly insurmountable perils of Hard Time Havoc is the worst thing that can happen to him and his new teammates, well, then he has another thing coming. His fight for freedom is about to escalate into an adrenaline-fueled odyssey beyond anything he could have envisioned.
