The Castaway
A ship's crew answers an advertisement and finds a gaunt, bearded man stranded on a tiny asteroid. Brought aboard and revived against medical odds, he offers little explanation and appears to have welcomed death even as his survival puzzles the surgeon. The plot follows the crew as they piece together his identity and the baffling circumstances that left him dessicated and resigned, while fragments of an older, unsettling mystery about his past and a feared power surface, creating a quiet tension between the crew's curiosity and the man's fatalism.
