"A multi-dimensional explosion hurls the starship's few passengers across the galaxies and onto a barren, uncharted planet. With no technical skills and scant supplies, the survivors face a bleak end in an alien world. One brave woman holds the daring answer, but it is the most desperate one possible."--Jacket.
