The story
Astronauts Taylor, Landon, and Dodge awaken from deep hibernation after their spacecraft crashes into a lake on an unknown planet following a near-light-speed space voyage.
The men travel through a desolate wasteland before coming across an oasis inhabited by primitive, mute humans.
Taylor is placed with a captive woman, whom he later names Nova.
