The Bastion Games

By Steven Paul Mccarthy

Love drives him to protect. They call it entertainment.

England, 2044. Five years after the undead pandemic, the infected, known as the Sullied, have been fenced inside a stretch of English woodland, and the country can't stop watching. Survival shows rule the airwaves. The bloodier, the better.

Nathan Parker is a billionaire, not that it does him any good. He's three years into a life sentence for murdering his wife, Susan, a crime he swears he didn't commit, and every penny is out of his reach.

Then TV mogul Cain Reign walks into the prison with an offer. Take part in his new gameshow, keep nine fellow convicts alive through five deadly tasks, and walk out a free man.

There's a catch. Every contestant he fails to protect will cost him dearly.

Among them are his younger brother, Adam, and his seventeen-year-old daughter, Jess, who stood up in court and told him she hoped they'd kill him.

Worse still, one of the convicts he's fighting to keep alive is the person who really murdered his wife.

The cameras are rolling. The Sullied are waiting. Nate has five tasks to find out who.
