Days ago, the alien Hunter sent a distress call to his homeworld, but his plea remains unanswered. Crash landing in this terrain—a harrowing ordeal.
The Amazon’s endless heat and humidity overwhelm the Hunter’s vision, his thermal imaging. Panicking through an unwelcoming environment, he stumbles across cold-blooded foes. Vipers. Anacondas. Caimans.
Retreating from aquatic reptiles leads to painful encounters with piranhas and a bull shark.
The alien’s invisibility tech can’t hide him from mosquitoes. They’re addicted to his neon-green ichor.
Feverish, woozy, the Hunter sobs. Prays.
Faints.
Plummets from a tree branch perch, again crashing to earth.
Stupid, inhospitable Earth...
