Roman legions vs. alien
IT WAS IN A CAGE THE FIRST TIME HE SAW IT!
The beast's ferocity had been obvious from the first. But when it escaped and Lycon followed its track to slaughter from the grimiest tenements of Rome to the heights of Imperial splendor, he realized things more: the creature wanted his life as badly as he wanted its; and the creature was just as intelligent as he was. Only one of them would survive--and the fate of Earth itself depended on the winner of their savage duel.
