<p> On the night of the UBC championship match, middleweight boxer Martin "The Hammer Hand" Elacio suffers catastrophic brain damage which leaves him at death's door. But when mysterious extrasolar envoys known as the Commission take an interest in collecting human specimens, the clueless pugilist finds himself restored to life, and together with 143 other abductees is thrust into the bizarre world of the Pipe, a colossal habitat ship housing a motley collective of alien races known as the Great Meet. </p> <p> Surrounded by hostile factions vying for control, the Earthlings must learn the brutal customs of this society or else go extinct. For in the Great Meet only the strong have the right to live, and a species can only prove its worth by participating in ritualistic honor duels. Assisted by the plucky paramedic Mei Nakamura, best friend Hector Diaz, smarmy know-it-all Freddy Steward, and the enigmatic grandmaster Omata Dundy, Martin must battle through a literal murderer's row of opponents, all while uncovering the Commission's sinister agenda. </p> <p> It's a lot for one punch-drunk prize fighter to take in. But when the chips are down, Martin can always count on three things: an iron will, and his own two fists. </p> <p> <em> Author's note: This story is influenced by shounen anime like Dragonball and Hajime no Ippo. It will feature actual techniques that pay homage to the greatest martial artists in modern history. The fight scenes will be kept semi-grounded with our protagonist using clever strategies and careful preperation to beat the odds. This story fits firmly in the soft science fiction category. </em> </p> <p> <em> Updates every 1-2 days. </em> </p>
