The two wrecked spaceships rested almost side by side near the tip of a
narrow, deep arm of a great lake.
The only man on the planet sat on a rocky ledge three miles uphill from

neatly patched shipboard clothing. His hands were clean, his face
carefully shaved. He had two of the castaway's traditional possessions
with him; a massive hunting bow rested against the rocks, and a minor

round face protruded a short, narrow tube tipped with small, sharp

retractile claws as it bounded back and forth between the bow and the
man, giving a quick flutter of its wings on each bound. Finally it
stopped before the man, stretching its neck to stare up at him, trying
to catch his attention.
He roused from his musing, glanced irritably down at it.

towering range of volcanos on the other side of the lake, and lifted to
the cloudless blue sky. His eyes probed on, searching the sunlit, empty
