The Ulterians, alien overlords, have conquered Earth and created the Gates for races to do battle in a battle royale across the galaxy. Will and Rachel have battled across their once prosperous city of Denver only to find an unforgiving new world. They entered the Gates and they were victorious, but at a price. Not ready to pay that price, Will and Rachel must put their lives on the line again and again to earn enough currency to buy their way out of their problem. The only complication is that they have a time limit. They have sixty-eight hours to earn their reward or the chance could be gone forever. Can Rachel and Will sprint to the finish and earn their reprieve, or will their break-neck pace cause them to get careless and lose out on the prize?

This the 2nd novella in the serial series and is as entertaining as the 1st. There are still minor issues with the powers not having well defined limits described. But the powers are used well and there's thought put into how they are advancing. The combat has a variety of opponents, which is good, but doesn't add anything to the plot except as a solution to an artificially created problem. I missed seeing more real world conflict and the advancement of the apocalypse story, though it is setup for the next story.
