A Hugo Award Finalist: Humanity struggles to understand a killing
labyrinth discovered on the Moon in this science fiction adventure
about death and rebirth Hugo and Nebula Award–winning author Robert
Silverberg credits Rogue Moon with containing "the most terrifying
pages in any SF novel I have ever read." A monstrous apparatus has
been found on the surface of the moon. It devours and destroys in ways
so incomprehensible to humans that a new language has to be invented
to describe it and a new kind of thinking to understand it. So far,
the human guinea pigs sent there in hopes of unraveling the murderous
maze have all died terrible deaths. The most recent volunteer survived
but is now on suicide watch. The ideal candidate won't go insane even
as he feels the end approaching. Al Barker has already stared into the
face of death; he can handle it again. But he won't merely endure the
trauma of dying. Barker will die over and over—even as his human
qualities are preserved on Earth. With its cast of fascinating
characters—like brilliant scientist Edward Hawks, who is obsessed
with rebirth— Rogue Moo n is a rare thriller that doesn't just make
you sweat. It makes you think.
