Together Stan and Julie become the most unlikely pair of pirates in the universe. With a hijacked spaceship and a crew of hardcase misfits, they're searching for the ultimate pot of gold at the end of a bloody intergalactic rainbow: royal jelly from an alien hive. The only problem is that the fortune lies on the universe's most godforsaken planet. And once they get their hands on it, the'll have to fight their way past the aliens to get off the planet alive.

But once this expedition crew enters, there will be no way out - and no hope left for humankind. Because deep within the labyrinth, a terror is stirring - an alien monstrosity more vicious, cunning, evil, and unstoppable than any species in the universe - except one: the other-worldly Predators who brought the nightmare to Earth to begin with and who are now returning here to face the beast once more in the most unholy combat.The battle is about to begin - and to the victor will go the planet.
