Publisher's Summary

One 16-year-old must battle his way across a thousand miles of deadly lunar terrain and face genetically altered super warriors in his quest to recover an astonishing object that will alter the lives of everyone on the moon...and beyond.

It’s the 22nd century. A tough, pioneering people mine the moon to produce energy for a desperate, war-torn Earth.

Sixteen-year-old Crater Trueblood loves his job as a Helium-3 miner. But when he saves a fellow miner, his life changes forever. Impressed by his heroism, the owner of the mine orders Crater to undertake a dangerous mission. Crater doesn’t think he can do it, but he has no choice. He must go.

With the help of Maria, the mine owner’s frustrating but gorgeous granddaughter, and his gillie - a sometimes insubordinate clump of slime mold cells - Crater must fight both human and subhuman enemies to complete his mission.

New York Times best-selling author of Rocket Boys Homer Hickam will take you on a hold-your-breath adventure across the moon, and you’ll never look at the night sky the same way again.

“Readers will be caught up in Homer Hickam's thrilling novel of life on the moon!” (Donna VanLiere, New York Times and USA Today best-selling author of The Good Dream and The Christmas Shoes)

The first in the Helium-3 series (book two: Crescent; book three: Crater Trueblood and the Lunar Rescue Company)

Book length: 75,000 words
