Lament for the Fallen

A strange craft falls from the stars and crashes into the jungle near an isolated West African community.

Inside, the locals discover the broken body of a man unlike any they have seen before ?

€“ a man who is perhaps something more than human.

His name is Samara and he speaks with terror of a place called Tartarus ?

€“ an orbiting prison where hope doesn?

€™t exist.

As Samara begins to heal, he also transforms the lives his rescuers.

But in so doing, he attracts the attention of a warlord whose gunmen now threaten the very existence of the villagers themselves ?

€“ and the one, slim chance Samara has of finding his way home.

And all the while, in the darkness above, waits the simmering fury at the heart of Tartarus .
