The ultimate disaster novel. IT'S TIME TO PANIC...A comet is coming. It's going to hit the moon. And the moon is going to fall. On us. Out of the blindside of a total solar eclipse comes a fundamental threat to life on our planet. Moonbase, the NASA project establishing at last permanent human activity on the moon, has been up and running for precisely five days. If it's knocked out, it'll be a hell of a blow to the US President, Henry Kolladner, who came to office riding high on the space ticket. And it'll be a bit of a blow to his deputy, VP Charlie Haskell, who's actually up there. If the comet fully impacts, there'll be no more moon at all. Billions of tons of lunar rock will crash to Earth. There'll be tidal waves, quakes, global destruction. It's a tough call for the President. Does he declare a state of emergency and start evacuating the entire coastal population of America? Imagine the chaos, the looting, the riots...Does he panic? Wouldn't YOU?
Industry Reviews
Jack McDevitt's Moonfall starts with a comet racing into the solar system and smashing into Earth's moon. A likeable geek, the American Vice President gallantly stays behind when there seem to be too few rescue ships, and then has to pilot the last ship out. Suddenly promoted by a tidal wave on the East Coast, he has to save Earth from a large moonchunk. McDevitt does all this with a straight face and real ingenuity. (Kirkus UK)
