James Coleman wanted a simple life. Money, women and booze. Former crewman of the military, a job onboard the colony ship Pytheas fits right in his alley. Ship people from a dying Earth to a terraformed planet named Anden ready for colonization. Couldn't get any simpler than that, he had imagined.
Reality had different ideas when the Pytheas is sabotaged and crash lands onto the planet. Stranded with little food and water, he is forced to find a way to survive and call home for rescue lest he be stuck forever. More dangerous since Anden turned out to be far more hostile than first imagined.
His helping hand, a computer artificial intelligence, technology and mankind's industrial might of the 31st century.
