A red star… a red planet. A dead planet… almost… No ship, no connection, and no hope of survival in a hostile environment. A planet where life is possible only in the twilight zone. On one pole—scorching heat, on the other—bitter cold. And only along the terminator line, where the sun always hangs above the horizon line, are there at least some chances to last until morning… which also doesn’t exist here… Given Max Gray’s “luck,” expecting anything else was pointless. There is only one chance—find the remaining ship of the dravid people, on which they were being transported, and try to invent something. Or not only that?
