For Piel, a little boy stranded on Perdide--a desert planet where giant killer hornets live--the only thing that connects him to the rest of the world is Mike: a state-of-the-art interstellar transceiver handed to him by his father, Claude. As Mike manages to send a distress signal, Piel must do everything in his power to get in touch with Claude's friend, Jaffar, an intrepid space adventurer, to stand a fighting chance in the inhospitable celestial body. However, will Jaffar make it in time?
