It's been decades since anyone set foot on the moon. Now three ordinary teenagers, the winners of NASA's unprecedented, worldwide lottery, are about to become the first young people in space--and change their lives forever.
Mia, from Norway, hopes this will be her punk band's ticket to fame and fortune.
Midori believes it's her way out of her restrained life in Japan.
Antoine, from France, just wants to get as far away from his ex-girlfriend as possible.
It's the opportunity of a lifetime, but little do the teenagers know that something sinister is waiting for them on the desolate surface of the moon. And in the black vacuum of space... no one is coming to save them.
In this chilling adventure set in the most brutal landscape known to man, highly acclaimed Norwegian novelist Johan Harstad creates a vivid and frightening world of possibilities we can only hope never come true.

Industry Reviews

"Hard to put down."-- "Library Media Connection" A 2013 YALSA Teens Top Ten Nominee "Hard to put down." ""Library Media Connection""" "Hard to put down."--Library Media Connection "Surprisingly creepy.... The novel's strength is its rising tension and skin-crawling conclusion: Scandinavian thriller meets sci-fi horror movie."--VOYA "Original, creepy, intense... 172 Hours is page-turning sci-fi that will stay with readers long after the shocking and heartbreaking conclusion."--School Library Journal "Creepy and bleak, Harstad's story is both psychologically and atmospherically disturbing."--Publishers Weekly "Harstad combines the perfectly paced creepiness of classic Twilight Zone episodes with Battlestar Galactica's chilling portrayal of the vast, unknowable emptiness of space."--Romantic Times "Imaginative.... Well-crafted suspense.... Interesting and original."--Kirkus Reviews "This irresistible premise is often intoxicating and occasionally downright terrifying.... pretty darn effective."--Booklist A 2013 YALSA Teens Top Ten Nominee Dagbaldet's Best Norwegian YA Novel of All Time A 2013 YALSA Teens Top Ten Nominee Dagbaldet's Best Norwegian YA Novel of All Time
