After 35 years of residing on the Moon, the seasoned oxygen farmer Millennium Harrison stumbles upon a concealed facility nestled within the shadows of the Slayton Ridge Exclusion Zone. This discovery uncovers a radiation leak and a perilous secret that holds the potential to cause the demise of a young astronaut. This unfortunate event triggers a series of events, including sabotage, murder, and cover-ups that may extend up to the Chief Administrator of the space agency. However, fate has a twist in store as the Chief Administrator happens to be Mil's estranged daughter, who is diligently striving to secure her own legacy—the first international mission to Mars.

With the launch window for the mission rapidly approaching, adversaries, allies, and even family members are willing to resort to any means necessary to prevent the truth from emerging. The fate of the Moon and the entire human race hangs in the balance as a deadly scheme unfolds, with the potential to obliterate both the Moon and Earth. In this desperate situation, the planet finds solace in a cantankerous individual who had never quite appreciated the presence of these individuals in the first place.

For enthusiasts of Arthur C. Clarke's 2001: A Space Odyssey, Andy Weir's Artemis, and Jack McDevitt's MoonFall, this novel offers a captivating and suspenseful journey that will keep readers on the edge of their seats.
