A fledgling waitress wakes up in what she thinks is her bed, only to find that she is stuck inside a space pod, and is told that she must compete in gladiator games aboard a giant mothership called Cold Tower for the amusement of an arena filled with aliens from all over the galaxy. Imprisoned aboard a house of horrors thousands of feet in the air, in the vacuum of space, Lilith, the earthborn waitress, also finds that she is pregnant and must survive all five levels of the arena, and she must do so in a certain amount of time or else her baby will be terminated. Will Lilith be able to fight her way through the devilish confines aboard Cold Tower? Can she outlast whatever gladiator games are thrown her way long enough to save her unborn baby? Escape from Cold Tower is not just a game of death for Lilith; it is, in essence, a game to save the life of her child.
