Houston, we have a problem … A gripping near-future space thriller by hard SF author Phillip P. Peterson.

A flight to the moon - thanks to billion-dollar investments by the company FrontierTech, this is now also feasible for private individuals. Teacher Luna Patel is one of the first enthusiastic moon tourists. The destination of her lunar module is a small station in the Taurus-Litrov valley. But when an engine malfunction leads to a crash landing, the dream turns into a nightmare. As the only survivor, she manages to free herself from the wreckage and escape to the nearby FrontierTech moon station. She is able to make contact with Earth, but oxygen and water are in short supply. A dramatic rescue operation begins, which leads to international entanglements at the highest level.

‘Peterson [...] brings remarkable scientific accuracy and credibility to the story - as well as his gripping and detailed writing style.’ Achmed Khamas, taz.blog, on ‘Janus’
