Overview
Step into a brutal alien tournament with Cade Carter in this complete three-book Contender collection from Sunday Times bestselling author Taran Matharu. Torn from Earth and forced to fight as a "contender" in a deadly game run by mysterious overlords, Cade must survive prehistoric monsters, alien gladiators and interstellar war to save his friends - and his planet. Fast-paced, high-stakes YA science fantasy, perfect for fans of survival adventure and epic tournament arcs, collected together in one great-value paperback box set.
About the Books
The Contender trilogy follows Cade Carter, a teenager convicted of a crime he didn't commit, who is suddenly transported from a reform school on Earth into a terrifying alien realm. In The Chosen, Cade and his fellow students are thrust into a deadly game of survival against bloodthirsty prehistoric creatures and fierce warriors, forced to become "contenders" for the entertainment of invisible overlords. In The Challenger, having survived the qualifying round, Cade must face an even more ferocious opponent - a seven-foot-tall clawed monster and reigning alien champion - while scavenging for weapons in a hostile jungle and being drawn into a new, freedom-or-death tournament. In The Champion, the explosive finale, Cade and his friends are sent to war against the Greys, a technologically superior humanoid race, as the fate of Earth hangs in the balance. Along the way Cade uncovers a game-changing secret about the ancient alien masterminds - the Pantheon - controlling the Games. Combining relentless action and inventive world-building, this trilogy from the author of the million-selling Summoner series delivers a thrilling, twist-filled ride, and together these three paperbacks make a satisfying complete-story collection.
