Parallel: Be careful what you wish for

Mason Paladin was an avid fan of the outdoors, preferring weeks on end camping and living off the land, all of it in utter isolation. If he had it his way an apocalypse would make his erstwhile efforts to prepare for such a world be fruitful and prophetic. One day he would awaken on an alien world, alone and with no hope of salvation. While fully prepared for such a calamity, or so he thought, the dangers on this world could prove both hostile and unexpected. Mason Paladin would get exactly what he had wished for...and then some.
