RONIN vs ROBOTS
1
On a planet where there are no guns, mercenary Daniel Cray stumbles upon the legendary city of ZenZion -- a mysterious desert outpost being laid siege by a vicious warlord. The peace-loving citizenry beg Cray for assistance… imploring the reluctant warrior to draw his deadly “Malathane” blade one last time to battle a relentless army of strange creatures and their sadistic masters. It’s Robots vs. Samurai in John Raffo’s epic science-fiction adventure, THE 7th SWORD. ™
