Reprinting the first story arc contained in the extra-sized issues #1-7,
this trade paperback tells the story of Samandahl Rey and Roiya Sintor, two
ex-soldiers from the human army at war with the Saurians. The search for work
brings them to Tanipal. Things spiral out of control for both Sam and Roi as the
Saurians launch a surprise attack. During the melee, Roiya is mortally injured,
and Sam receives the sigil, a mark allowing him access to vast power, which he
receives without any instruction or control. Sam and his friends are wanted by
the Saurians, the Sultan's Guards, and a powerful stranger from another world,
all because of the "mystery weapon" that Sam has become. Sam and his crew travel
the galaxy, battling their enemies and trying to unravel the mystery of the
sigil. Also included is a complete cover gallery, and anecdotes from Barbara
Kesel and other creators who have worked on this title.
