Stranded on a Tiny Planet
Abandoned, wounded, and alone on an alien world, Merco, a former war hero, fights for survival against overwhelming odds. But his greatest challenge isn't the harsh environment or monstrous wildlife—it's the discovery of a tiny, sentient civilization who sees him as a terrifying, yet potentially divine, giant. Can he bridge the cosmic gap to find a way home, or will this strange planet become his final resting place?
Merco lay motionless, pain throbbing across his beaten body. His vision blurred, he saw dim lights and two figures. An inhibitor band glowed on his cybernetic arm, immobilizing his main defense. He grunted, willing his fingers to flex, but nothing happened.
"Nice ship you have here, pal," a young voice commented. Merco growled, lifting his head. "The Hell you will."
A Gret'nal, a lizard-like humanoid, hoisted him by his hair. "Kinda mouthy for a dead man don'tcha think?"
"Now, now Gurt," the pilot chided. "We're not supposed to kill him. At least...not directly."
