Book excerpt: EarthÕs immortal soldier thought he knew pain...until he entered the depths of his enemyÕs ÒLABYRINTHÓ... Across six millennia, Gilad Anni-Padda Ð an immortal warrior sworn to forever serve the Earth Ð has felled zealots and madmen, emperors and tyrants in the course of his duty. But nothing heÕs faced yet can prepare him to run the ÒLABYRINTHÓ Ð a miles-long maze of horrors specifically designed to undermine his every strength, enhance his every weakness, and send him screaming into the darkness of death at every turn. The answer lies at the heart of the ÒLABYRINTHÓ itself...and as Gilad endures a gauntlet of cutting-edge technology and sharpened steel, heÕll soon discover why the merciless figure known only as THE DYING ONE has singled the Eternal Warrior out for the ultimate deathtrap. He will run. He will suffer.
