Drakk by Wayne Sharpe

After spending half of his lifetime in school learning, Tobias Tybrit was ready to strike out on his own. Accepting a position with Interspace Mining and Exploration Company was how he would make his stake that would set him up for the rest of his life. Travelling to another planet in another galaxy was a risky venture but a very large payday at the end would make it all worthwhile. Tobias prepared himself as well as can be expected and was aware the trip would be an extreme hardship for him. Life on a primitive planet with man eating monsters on the land and in the air would be most difficult to deal with to be sure. Work hard, do my time, collect my paycheck and come back home safe and sound were the only priorities Tobias had. These were his genuine intentions but after landing on planet Falkar Tobias was soon to find out that the meaning of life could be found in the strangest places.
