Emerald Planet: Wee, Wicked Whispers: Collected Short Stories 2007 - 2008 in Bloomington, MN

This is reality television run amok, daytime programming in the bloody Roman Coliseum. Survival is the game and vast wealth the reward. What of the hapless individuals tossed together into competition? Can they retain their humanity and still do what it takes to win? When defeat is death, does this difference matter?
Fun and games in the depths of a hostile rain forest. It's every man, and woman, for themselves!
