    About this ebook

    Hendrik just wanted to make some extra cash to help ease him into a secluded, peaceful retirement but being marooned on a desolate planet was more solitude than he had intended. A person may reflect on their life and the choices they have made but the Universe does not seem to notice.

    Even the most profound mind can be become unhinged in isolation and Hendrik is no great philosopher. As an alcoholic smuggler he is a man who has always lived within his means and he is coming up with few options down in the dirt.

    If not rescue then this piolet would settle for a drink but with the locals inclined to eat him if he should stumble Hendrik tries to stay on his guard.
    Amongst the twisted metal and blasted sands on this Graveyard of a World the bones of the dead are everywhere and Hendrik will need all his savvy not to join them.
