PITCH BLACK

THE STORY THAT INTRODUCED THE WORLD TO RIDDICK

A rogue comet spears an earth-bound commercial spacecraft, forcing it to plummet to the surface of an unknown planet. With the captain dead, a brave pilot performs a perilous crash landing. Other than three suns—which create perpetual light—and a slight oxygen deficiency, a search party discovers that the planet isn’t much different from Earth . . . until they stumble across a ghostly settlement littered with the human remains of geologists who mysteriously perished exactly sixty years ago. And the most horrific discovery of all: below the surface of the soil, where darkness reigns, live hungry predators with a deadly appetite.

Once every sixty years a solar eclipse darkens the skies and allows the blood-hungry creatures to escape from their underground tomb. With only hours before total blackout, everyone must unite in a race to raise the geologists’ abandoned ship before becoming a long-awaited meal . . .
