Graphic Violence Profanity Elliot Kane thought his years as a survivalist and TV host had prepared him for anything. He was wrong. Stripped of tools, comfort, and even his clothes, Elliot awakens on an alien planet—a contestant in a deadly game of survival broadcast to the galaxy. His only edge is his unique ability: Object Comprehension. By touching an item, Elliot gains an intimate understanding of its history, composition, and use—a skill that could mean the difference between life and death.
