About This Book

A hunter named Jan pursues a deer across ruined terrain and discovers a small, glowing square set into the ground that causes objects and creatures to vanish. He tests the phenomenon with a stick and inadvertently draws a short, uniformed man through the portal. The newcomer produces a strange projectile weapon and wounds Jan, who responds by using his knife to slash the attacker's wrist. The episode sets a tense encounter between instinctive, improvised survival and lingering advanced technology amid the wreckage.
