Review Summaries
"A highly trained soldier is presumed dead in a training mission and dumped on a waste planet. There he is taken in by a group of humans. A rival group of soldiers arrive at the planet and attack them. Now the soldier must use all his training to save the innocent poeple living on the planet."
Jack Bauer, Resident Scholar

"Sort of a Universol Soldier meets The Postman by way of Shane in outer space. A trained-from-birth super-soldier is replaced by genetically engineered more-super-soldiers, and his predumed-to-be-dead body is dumped on a garbage planet. Ther he meets a community of peaceful settlers but has a hard time fitting in. Thene the new soldiers go on a training mission, start killing everybody, and the Soldier must step in and defend them. Lots of gunfire, with the good-guy and bad-guy schools of gun accuracy in full effect. Throw in some affection from a woman who's husband conveniently dies and a mute moppet of a child who takes a liking to the Soldier, and you've got a modern Saturday action matinee movie."
Zorikh Lequidre, Resident Scholar
