Humanity's achievements in space seem poised for a triumphant moment as a new American Moonbase prepares for its official opening. Then the discovery of a comet on a collision course with the Moon transforms celebration into a desperate emergency. Evacuating those on the lunar surface is only the first challenge: a catastrophic impact could send debris towards Earth and endanger people far beyond the reach of the initial disaster. Scientists, astronauts and political leaders must act with limited time and incomplete understanding, while individuals face the consequences of decisions made on an immense scale. Jack McDevitt's science-fiction disaster novel follows interconnected efforts to survive a crisis that threatens both humanity's space ambitions and its home world.
