About This Book

On a rough, tide-tossed planet dominated by a large, close moon, a stranded Terran surveyor struggles to secure his rocket and adapt to local customs. He shares precarious hospitality with a native companion, observes how the extreme environment shapes the tribe's blunt survival instincts, and copes with mistrust and cramped confinement. The sudden arrival of another spacecraft provokes village alarm and a tense encounter between residents and newcomers. The story follows efforts to locate and repair ships, navigate cross-cultural misunderstandings, and endure the planet's unpredictable storms and violent tides.
