But their paradise turned into a living hell...'Twenty years ago, the colonists of the planet Avalon waged a desperate war against the grendels, reptilian creatures larger than alligators, faster than cheetahs, smarter than dolphins and single-mindedly murderous. The battle was bloody and brutal, but the humans triumphed, building a laven for themselves on their island capital of Camelot.Now the colony is flourishing, but a fift has grown between those who remember all too well the horrors of the grendel wars and the youngsters, who yearn for excitement and adventure. Their ambition is to explore the mainland, where the grendels still roam, and to claim the entire planet for humankind.But the dangers are far greater than anyone could imagine, for as dreams of adventure turn to nightmare reality, the colonists discover that lurking on the mainland is something even more worse than grendels ... something that eats grendels ...
