Publisher's Synopsis
New Science Fiction Space Opera/Military/Thriller
How could the Earth lose its moon?
In the shadow of humanity's greatest leap, a brilliant nuclear physicist races against time-not just for science, but for the truth.
Rex, a gifted physicist working on the cutting-edge quest to harness nuclear fusion from helium-3 on the moon, is shattered when his fiancée, Avery-the captain of humanity's first international mission to Mars-vanishes without a trace.
Haunted by loss and driven by desperate hope, Rex teams up with his enigmatic AI companion to unravel the mystery behind the missing ship. But as he digs deeper, what begins as a search for answers turns into a deadly chase through secrets and shadowy military conspiracies.
In the vast emptiness of space, nowhere is safe-and the truth might be the most dangerous frontier of all.
***EXCERPT***
When Rex got back to the base, he went directly to the cafeteria. He found Mei having a late lunch consisting of plain white rice with a chunky pink substance, supposedly chicken, with peas and carrots. Rex sat down across from Mei. "Something good for lunch?"
"I'd like it better if I didn't eat the same thing every day," Mei said.
"You could opt for the beef stew," Rex said.
"I'm a vegetarian," Mei said.
Rex did not bother pointing out the glaring contradiction in her statement. Besides, he knew that there was barely any real meat in their food anyway.
"Aren't you hungry?" Mei asked.
"Not yet," Rex said. "I was actually coming to find you."
"Why?"
"I was in the Russian lab."
"How did you manage that? I don't think you should be in there. You know how the company is sensitive about entry permissions."
"I know, but I don't think anyone is going to really care now."
Mei stopped eating. "Find anything?"
"Actually, yes."
