Synopsis

A Necromunda story

A Goliath ganger and pit-fighter is given a chance at glory – but in Necromunda's underhive, nothing comes without a price…

READ IT BECAUSE
Explore compassion and consideration in the underhive – qualities which are normally in short supply, but which Mike Brookes skilfully brings out through the tale of Jaxx.

THE STORY
In the underhive of Necromunda, people fight for many reasons… Goliath ganger Jaxx may be a stimm-fuelled pit fighter, but there are all manner of reasons why he steps into the ring. When a mysterious woman offers Jaxx a chance at glory, as well as revenge against his conniving fight master, he must decide whether it's worth the price… his life.
