Captain Corinth

Alan Corinth has an ambitious goal: to bring an entire continent under his rule. He intends to do this to shield Ares, his home planet, from the Bugs, an alien force poised to invade. The Kingdom of Belta, which lies beside the Great Demon Forest, is the natural place to begin.

Alan and his companions travel to Gantz, a citadel where the kingdom's most accomplished adventurers gather. Whether he can keep these hostile invaders from overrunning Ares is an open question, and the story continues in the fourth volume.
