Summary:
I've been told that the entire continent of Antarctica groaned at the moment of my birth. The howl tore across glaciers, over mountains and deep into the ice. Everyone says so. Except for my father; all he heard was Mother's sobs. Not of pain, but of joy, so he says. Other than that, the only verifiable fact about the day I was born is that an iceberg the size of Los Angeles broke free from the ice shelf, a few miles off the coast. Again, some would have me believe the fracture took place as I entered the world. But all that really matters, according to my parents, is that I, Solomon Ull Vincent, the first child born on Antarctica-the first and only Antarctican-was born on September 2nd, 1974.
If only someone could have warned me that upon my return to the continent of my birth, thirteen years later, I would be kidnapped, subjected to tortures beyond comprehension and forced to fight...and kill. If only someone had hinted that I'd wind up struggling to survive in a subterranean world full of ancient warriors, strange creatures and supernatural powers.
Had I been warned, I might have lived a normal life. The human race might have remained safe. And the fate of the world might not rest on my shoulders. Had I been warned...
This is my story-the tale of Solomon Ull Vincent-The Last Hunter.

Sobre a editora
Os livros da editora Breakneck Media levam o leitor a universos onde a ciência, o sobrenatural e o apocalipse se entrelaçam em narrativas intensas e cheias de suspense. As histórias frequentemente exploram personagens imortais ou marcados por torturas físicas e psicológicas, enfrentando realidades distorcidas e ameaças que vão de criaturas gigantescas a inteligências artificiais instáveis. O ritmo costuma ser acelerado, com reviravoltas que desafiam a percepção do que é real, enquanto o tom mistura tensão, mistério e ação. O catálogo indica uma preferência por enredos que transitam entre o espaço sideral, ambientes pós-apocalípticos e cenários sombrios, com protagonistas que lutam contra forças tanto externas quanto internas.
