Neal Stephenson presents a catastrophic scenario: the Moon explodes for no apparent reason, and humanity has less than three years before the debris makes near-Earth space practically impassable. This science fiction epic follows the last-ditch efforts to save the species through an ambitious space program.

With impressive scientific rigor and memorable characters, Stephenson builds a tense narrative that explores the limits of human endurance, technological innovation, and survival. A masterful work that redefines the scope of contemporary science fiction.
