About This Book

A disgraced Earth pilot struggles to survive when a swift, lethal epidemic called the Gray Death sweeps the globe, killing within hours and unraveling social order. Pushed to society’s margins, he becomes involved with a ragged crew bound for the Moon, where terrestrial fears meet alien customs in cavern cities and scientific laboratories. The narrative alternates scenes of urban panic and spacefaring adventure while exploring trust, exile, and cultural friction between Earthmen and Lunarians, as scientific urgency and personal stakes drive a tense mission that links planetary contagion to lunar mysteries.
