Synopsis
A blend of Robinson Crusoe and Edgar Rice Burroughs, Forbidden Wasteland chronicles the adventures of Jack Carson on a strange and savage planet. Marooned, with no way to signal Galaxy Command of his whereabouts, Jack is eventually captured by evil Rogilan warriors and sold as a slave. With Simione, a beautiful yellow-eyed Chuksan woman, Jack leads a slave revolt, only to be pursued across land and sea by the vengeful Rogilians. In this bizarre wasteland of flying reptiles, dangerous beasts, and even more dangerous humans, only the strong can survive.
