Opis

Don't worry... he's up there Since time immemorial, humans have looked upward toward the shimmering light of the moon and wondered about the fantastical happenings that were, perhaps, taking place on its craggy surface-a timeless, dreamlike desire personified in the mythic figure of the "Man in the Moon." Even in the decades since humanity has chartered, via man and machine, its once-unknown terrain, the moon still radiates an enduring, alluring mystique for children and adults alike. "The Man in the Moon," a novel by novelist, screenplay and teleplay author Neil Bloom, and the first in the "Man in the Moon trilogy, chronicles the out-of-this-world adventures of astronaut Philip Brewstow, who is marooned on the moon during a space mission gone awry. Abandoned by his commanding officer and presumed dead by all but his young daughter Angelina, Philip discovers a shocking secret no other human has ever known: the Man in the Moon is real and there's an entire "world" that thrives beneath its surface. But this world-on whose light, whose tidal regulations, whose perpetual presence our own Earth depends-is under grave peril as its energy source is dwindling swiftly, with no solution in sight. Back on Earth, Angelina's unswerving belief in her father's survival is vindicated when she finally opens the letter he left for her years ago. Soon, Philip's best friend and space partner Colonel Adam Trinidad manages to gain access to a top-secret, hidden spacecraft, the untested SK-1 (prototype), which will take him on a perilous unauthorized venture to the moon-accompanied, he'll soon find out, by a young stowaway whose love for her father knows no earthly bounds. But as the potential reward is great, so, too, is the risk.
