A Fall Of Moondust by Arthur C. Clarke

A Fall of Moondust by Arthur C. Clarke

In a future where tourism on the Moon is a reality, the dust-cruiser Selene offers breathtaking tours across the vast, fine-grained Sea of Thirst. But this tranquil voyage turns into a terrifying fight for survival when a sudden "moonquake" collapses the ground beneath it. The Selene sinks without a trace, trapping its crew and passengers alive, dozens of feet below a suffocating ocean of dust. With their oxygen supply dwindling and no way to signal for help, Captain Pat Harris must keep his passengers calm and his crew focused on staying alive. On the surface, a frantic rescue operation begins, racing against a seemingly impossible clock to first locate the buried vessel, and then devise a way to save those entombed within. Arthur C. Clarke delivers a masterclass in scientific suspense, weaving a technically plausible and intensely human story of ingenuity and survival against the cold, silent backdrop of the Moon.
