Our friendly Space Post Express space couriers are tasked with a delivery to a remote part of the galaxy, their space truck full of space packages. It's no surprise when they crash yet another time. What is surprising is that the planet is not supposed to exist Doubly surprising is the fact that the planet seems to be in a state of flux, full of half-finished and crude animals, all strange combinations of multiple other creatures, obeying no logic at all
And as if that wasn't enough, Tod falls in a mysterious coma, and Phil is left to fend for himself in the untamed wilderness, with only his lacking wits and a truck full of other people's random packages to help him. Tod, his body comatose, predictably finds himself in an equally tough situation, having to deal with an enigmatic being's prodding mental questions.
Will our two space couriers discover who put that planet there? How will Phil find food and water on a planet where the rivers have salt water and the wood is harder than steel? And what will Tod do when his actions are put to the test?
