Science Fiction Suspense/Thriller
A realistic and chilling vision of life on the Moon,
where dust kills as easily as the vacuum of space…but
murder is even quicker—a fast-paced, cinematic science
fiction thriller, this debut novel combines the
inventiveness of The Martian, the intrigue of The
Expanse, and the thrills of Red Rising. The Moon smells like gunpowder. Every lunar walker since
Apollo 11 has noticed it: a burnt-metal scent that
reminds them of war. Caden Dechert, the chief of 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 Marine in the war-torn Middle
East back on Earth. It’s 2072, and lunar helium-3 mining is powering the
fusion reactors that are bringing Earth back from
environmental disaster. But competing for the richest
prize in the history of the world has destroyed the
oldest rule in space: Safety for All. When a bomb kills
one of Dechert’s diggers on Mare Serenitatis, the haunted
veteran goes on the hunt to expose the culprit before
more blood is spilled. But as Dechert races to solve the first murder in the
history of the Moon, he gets caught in the crosshairs of
two global powers spoiling for a fight. Reluctant to be
the match that lights this powder-keg, Dechert knows his
life and those of his crew are meaningless to the
politicians. Even worse, he knows the killer is still out
there, hunting. In his desperate attempts to save 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.
