For nearly two decades, the techno-organic warrior known simply as CAL has been stranded on the jungle death world of Durst. Without his memories, and alone save for his damaged ship A.I., CAL has spent his days protecting the nearby villages from the equally stranded band of pirates and raiders as they lead a crusade of pillaging and devastation against the planet's inhabitants. However, unbeknownst to our wayward hero, a mysterious hand moves against not only him, but the galaxy at large. An action which will put CAL in the center of galactic turmoil. From horrors beyond mortal comprehension, ancient warriors out of time, civil wars, galactic invasions, to the blackened halls of Death himself and his most fearsome foe: Intergalactic Politics. The tale of Warrior Adrift begins here.This is the newly updated and rewritten version of Warrior Adrift! Set as the first series in the Ultraverse!
