Description:
Runaway moon!
Moonbase Alpha is Earth’s supreme achievement.
Self-sufficient and fully computerized, the fantastic lunar colony is Earth’s
global watchdog, silently guarding against sneak alien attack. The dark side of
the moon – once so mysterious, so unattainable – now stores in its womb
containers of smouldering radioactive waste, refuse from Earth.
Then, in the year of Our Lord 1999, the serence satellite
is ripped apart by thermonuclear explosion. And the 311 inhabitants of Alpha
whirl through space on a runaway moon – in an orbit of jarring adventure where
survival is a game of chance with the life forces of the universe!
