Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Rival companies TerraLuna and MoonCorp have been competing for the first vacation destination on the lunar surface, with TerraLuna well in the lead. After an accident damages TerraLuna, MoonCorp CEO Stan Duncan makes a bold move to start construction of their resort using technologies on hold for safety testing. Charlie Porter's historic advances in solar technologies have been tabled for secrecy, and he has been recently laid off. His friend Nick Nicholas, also working for MoonCorp, has developed an untested lunar meteorite defense technology that is revisited in the wake of TerraLuna's accident. The young friends are rehired as construction begins on the safer, better choice for lunar vacations-MoonCorp. Gerhard Steele, TerraLuna's CEO, is angry and jealous that his multibillion-dollar resort is bordering on ruin. After an unsuccessful attempt to buy the new defense tech from his rival, he employs Leslie Davis to infiltrate the MoonCorp organization and steal information usable on the disabled TerraLuna for its lunar defense. During this time, we learn that the damage caused to TerraLuna is due to a strangely undetected space-faring rock that crashed into the resort. Nick and Charlie are in communication with their friend Ed Zonic, who also works in TerraLuna. With his help, they begin to piece together the additional biological problems caused by the incident in the form of the appearance of a volatile insect infestation that challenges the very existence of life on Earth.
