About This Book

A man returns to his childhood settlement on a parched alien world and finds the village deserted and its well poisoned. After discovering an elderly native who chose to remain, he uses his small unicopter to overtake the fleeing colonists and attempts to help them cross hundreds of miles of scorching wasteland toward a distant refuge while pursued by hostile tribes. The narrative follows his moral urgency, the physical hardships of desert survival, and questions of loyalty, sacrifice, and whether harsh measures are justified to save a community.
