In the year 2124, Atom, an award-winning life systems expert, has lost everything that he cares about in the world. To get away from it all, he joins the crew of the Queen Victoria, a deep space “Freak Jumper” claiming to be searching for life in faraway corners of the Galaxy. Fortunately for Atom, they aren’t really searching for life.

Naturally, he finds himself stranded, for at least three years, on a newly discovered planet teeming with life.  With his thirst restored he's  now on the verge of death,  how will Atom survive?  

Hard science fiction, steeped in eastern philosophical thought, told with classic Zane Grey/ Western story beats.  All leading towards a heavy handed, mind bending twist at the end.
