Moon Dust - Paperback

by Joseph J. Christiano (Author)

Joseph J. Christiano takes readers back to the moon with the release of the Author's Edition of his best-selling novel, MOON DUST.

The luxury starliner Sovereign of the Stars makes an unscheduled and unannounced landing at Armstrong Base, mankind's first permanent facility on the moon. Armstrong's commander, Colonel Michael Hansen, boards the vessel and discovers the mummified remains of the passengers and crew. A single comatose survivor is found.

A team from earth arrives to begin an investigation. They are led by Lindsay Dwyer, a bureaucrat who far outranks Hansen, and who becomes the de facto commander of Armstrong. Things begin to go wrong soon after their arrival. Several of Armstrong's personnel are found dead, their corpses mummified. Hansen orders and evacuation of the facility only to discover the base has been locked down from Earth.

Facing a terror of unknown origin and a mutinous executive officer, Hansen must find a way to keep his people alive long enough for them to discover how to defeat their enemy...an enemy that reduces its victims to moon dust.
