Summary:
"Det er over førti år siden NASA sendte menneskertil månen. Og nå vil de giøre det igjen. For å vekke interesse og sikre seg pengestøtte, lanserer de et historisk lotteri. Tre heldige ungdommer kan vinne en reise til månebasen DARLAH2, hvor de skal oppholde seg en uke. Millioner av ungdom melder seg på. Det er liksom som om verden går av hengslene den våren, og nok en gang er månen på alles lepper. De tre som til slutt vinner, kommer fra så forskjellige steder som Paris, Tokyo og Stavanger. De heter Midori, Antoine og Mia, og de har kanskje bare én ting til felles: De er ikke spesielt interessert i romfart. I forkant av reisen opplever de alle uforklarlige hendelser. Samtidig avslører NASA at ferden skal gå i en kopi av den gamle roketten fra 1969. Erfarne astronauter er sjokkert. Og på et eldrehjem i Miami sitter en gammel, senil vaktmester som har jobbet for det amerikanske forsvaret. Han husker knapt sitt eget navn. Det eneste han er sikker på er at ingen må dra tilbake til månen, at en ny ekspedisjon kan bety slutten på alt. Men nedtellingen har allerede begynt..."--Back cover
In 2019, teens Mia, Antoine, and Midori are selected by lottery to join experienced astronauts on a NASA mission to the once top-secret
moon
base, DARLAH 2, while in a Florida nursing home, a former astronaut struggles to warn someone of the terrible danger there.
"It's been decades since anyone set foot on the
moon
. Now three ordinary teenagers, the winners of NASA's unprecedented, worldwide lottery, are about to become the first young people in space—and change their lives forever. Mia, from Norway, hopes this will be her punk band's ticket to fame and fortune. Midori believes it's her way out of her restrained life in Japan. Antoine, from France, just wants to get as far away from his ex-girlfriend as possible. It's the opportunity of a lifetime, but little do the teenagers know that something sinister is waiting for them on the desolate surface of the
moon
. And in the black vacuum of space... no one is coming to save them. In this chilling adventure set in the most brutal landscape known to man, highly acclaimed
Norwegian
novelist Johan Harstad creates a vivid and frightening world of possibilities we can only hope never come true."--From publisher.
