I don't often read science fiction, I'm more into the fantasy genre, but I liked this book. It was a good read. The passengers and crew of the tourist cruise ship, 'Selene,' are buried underneath moondust on the moon with limited resources. The story was supposed to be 'futuristic,' set in the 21st century, which is now, so it seemed a bit out-dated. That aside, the story was interesting, suspenseful, and short enough for me to be able to stick with it so I would recommend it to others. My only complaint: I would like to have known more about why people were living on the moon. Why did the earth stopped spinning?
