It’ll attract readers who loved Andy Weir’s lunar crime caper Artemis.” — Library Journal, starred review
An authentic and chilling vision of life within the Moon, where dirt kills as easily as the vacuum of space…but murder is also quicker-a fast-paced, cinematic science fiction thriller, this debut novel combines the inventiveness from the Martian, the intrigue from the Expanse, as well as the thrills of Red Rising.
The Moon smells like gunpowder. Every lunar walker since Apollo 11 has observed it: a burnt-metal fragrance that reminds them of battle. Caden Dechert, the chief from the U.S. mining operation on the edge of the Sea of Serenity, thinks the smell is just a trick of the mind-a reminder of his harrowing days as a Sea in the war-torn Middle East back again on Earth.
It’s 2072, and lunar helium-3 mining is powering the fusion reactors that are getting Earth back again from environmental catastrophe. But contending for the richest reward in the history of the world has demolished the oldest rule in space: Security for All. Whenever a bomb kills among Dechert’s diggers on Mare Serenitatis, the haunted veteran continues on the hunt to expose at fault before more blood is spilled.
But mainly because Dechert races to solve the 1st murder in the annals from the Moon, he gets caught in the crosshairs of two global forces spoiling for a fight. Reluctant to be the match that lights this powder-keg, Dechert understands his life and those of his team are meaningless towards the politicians. A whole lot worse, he understands the killer continues to be out there, hunting.
In his desperate attempts to save lots of his crew and prevent the catastrophe he sees coming, the former Marine uncovers a dangerous conspiracy that, with one spark, can ignite a full lunar war, wipe out his team . and perhaps plunge the Earth back into darkness.
