Average Score:

Time is running out for the passengers and crew of the tourist cruiser Selene, incarcerated in a sea of choking lunar dust. On the surface, her rescuers find their resources stretched to the limit by the pitiless and unpredictable conditions of a totally alien environment. A brilliantly imagined story of human ingenuity and survival, A Fall of Moondust is a tour-de-force of psychological suspense and sustained dramatic tension. "The best book yet about man’s most dramatic journey, the most exciting science fiction novel for years." - Evening Standard "Expertly told and cruelly exciting to the end." — Sunday Times "Extremely good . . . with some superbly ingenious and exciting new twists." — Daily Express

A Fall of Moondust probably isn't for everyone, due to its quick pace and focus on survival rather than world-building or character development, but readers who like hard SF and survival stories will be very pleased.
