The Gatherer
An alien probe abducts nine terrified earthlings for a horrific ride across interstellar space. One minute they are living their mundane every day lives; when, suddenly one by one, they find their entire body has been dissolved leaving their immortal Soul floating in disembodied form. Worse, they are all about to be injected into the blood stream of a giant humanoid like a dose of drugs. Is this Hell? The psychotic killer in vial three thinks so. Is it heaven? The Japanese tuna boat Captain, in vial seven, thinks the giant alien outside his vial might be the great Buddha. The Captain's daughter, a young deck hand, two young lovers from Georgia, a pretty blond teen from St. Louis, and two Green Beret Marines from Nevada are thrown together in the most terrifying experience imaginable as the alien begins randomly injecting each specimen into its veins one by one to vicariously relive their personal life experiences, like a vampire might live off the life force of others. This creature has absorbed life from across the universe, yet never has it tasted the mind rending flavor of a SOUL creature. It is ADDICTIVE!
