Synopsis
Tiermann's World: a planet covered in wintry woods and roamed by sabre-toothed tigers and other savage beasts.

A gigantic and extremely hungry alien creature is heading remorselessly towards their home. When it gets there everything will be devoured. Can they get away in time? With the force shield cracking up, and the Dreamhome itself deciding who should or should not leave, things are looking desperate...
