When I see her groped and humiliated at the auction house, I have no choice but to buy her. Even if a virgin human female costs as much as all the minerals on Fenda.

Not since Betty Eadie's Embraced by the Light has a personal account of a near-death experience been so utterly different from most others - or nearly as compelling.

Not so in Howard Storm's case.

Though Veos is certainly an unusual dungeon, what truly sets him apart is unknown to most—even himself.
