A sci-fi story of James, a young vagabond who thought it would be easy money to work his way across the galaxy on an old freighter.

A shortcut through an unmapped system doesn't go to plan and James and the lion-like alien Crit find themselves fighting for their lives on an inhospitable alien planet.

And Crit's species are consummate carnivores.

Chapter 6:

Alive and on land, things should be going well. But they're alone on an alien planet with no supplies and no way home.

Soon they'll find out why the Sirius was attacked.
