About This Book

A team exploring a lunar plain discovers a vast, smooth artificial metal structure and enters through a circular opening, only to have a panel seal the passage and imprison them. Isolated in a low-ceiling chamber lined with strange drawings, instruments, and pulsing lights, they encounter radio interference and a sudden loss of suit pressure while one member is violently displaced by an unseen force. Attempts to summon outside help fail, and a narrow corridor opens deeper inside, compelling the group to probe an engineered trap and the alien mechanisms that control it.
