Synopsis














Bart Fraden came looking for a planet to conquer - and found the hell-hole of the galaxy ... Sangre - The Killer Planet.

For three centuries Sangre had been dominated by the sadistic Brotherhood of Pain, a priesthood dedicated to torture, slavery and cannibalism.

Bart Fraden sensed the kind of revolutionary potential that he could manipulate to make himself ultimate ruler.  But he hadn't counted on the apathy of a people bred as meat animals and the dreadful power wielded by the Brotherhood.

Sangre might cost him more than his life ... it could destroy his soul.

In a Burst of Light
Gamma rays produce flashes that are brighter than a billion suns yet last only a few milliseconds and have been simply too fast to catch... until now. The artist's concept above depicts the sequence of events as a black hole devours a neutron star, producing gamma-ray bursts as it does so. Using data from the Swift observatory, scientists have gleaned tantalizing evidence of a black hole eating a neutron star--first stretching the neutron star into a crescent, swallowing it, and then gulping up crumbs of the broken star in the minutes and hours that followed.
