Philip K. Dick 
The Gun 

From the legendary mind of Philip K. Dick, the author who inspired blockbuster films like Blade Runner, Total Recall, and Minority Report, comes The Gun, a gripping science fiction short story filled with riveting thrills, psychological depth, dark humor, and a touch of intentional chaos.

But when a mysterious bright light leads them to crash land on an eerie and desolate planet, this expedition becomes a dangerous game of survival. Our protagonists face lingering despair as they uncover the harrowing truth behind the planet’s inhabitants and their ultimate demise. With their ship crippled by a deadly and persistent weapon, they brace for the challenge of outsmarting an enemy they cannot see.
