Publisher Description
When Kevin Murdock, martial artist and outdoorsman extraordinaire, is revived from suspended animation aboard a transport pod, he and his nine fellow occupants have no idea what to expect.
Murdock argues for caution after seeing something strange: animals also inhabit their new environment, all of them larger than their Earthly counterparts. Conflict soon erupts between Murdock and James Whittier - a politician with a lust for power and control.
But soon, they all realize that there's something even more dangerous onboard... something that might cost them all their lives.

Good fantasy
A great little story, but was obviously written by a man without knowledge of women or babies or even cooking, really.
Could use a female collaborator.
1. Babies need to be changed at least 6 times a day. Large leaves could have worked in the story.
2. Babies cry. Make it believable. Just as going for a shot, one of the kids starts to howl and so he misses that shot, but hits a smaller deer instead.
3. Women have menstrual cycles. No one wants naked women at that time. Krysathia or Mei Lee could have negotiated for clothing etc.
4. People, bears and deer need more than just meat. Berries, tubers (carrots, potatoes), sweet leaves (stevia), mint or herbs. Soap is made from fat, ashes and water.
5. Find a sick wolf cub and nurse it back to health. Use the brushed fur to create thread and fibres for clothes and blankets. The pup grows into a guard dog.
6. Blisters and callouses on feet from being barefoot.
Makes the story more believable.
These changes could make an amusing story become a classic.
