SEVEN PEOPLE ARE DEAD. A SECRET BASE IS HIDING ON THE MOON. AND SOMEONE KNEW THE RESCUE TEAM WAS COMING.
Nobody was supposed to be out there.
Eleven kilometers from humanity's isolated lunar outpost, an impossible SOS signal flashes across the darkness.
Three short. Three long. Three short.
Someone is calling for help.
But according to every mission manifest, every government agency, and every satellite survey, there are no other humans on the Moon.
Colonel Raymond Haskell doesn't believe in abandoning people. And when Mission Control orders him to stand down, he makes a decision that could end his military career.
He's going anyway.
With a failing lunar rover, limited oxygen, and a small crew of scientists and soldiers, Haskell launches a desperate rescue mission across one of the most unforgiving landscapes in the solar system.
The journey is nearly impossible.
Deadly lunar terrain. Collapsing rock walls. Freezing temperatures. A rapidly draining battery.
And someone back on Earth seems determined to keep them from reaching their destination.
But the real nightmare begins when they finally discover what lies beyond the ridge.
A secret lunar habitat.
A structure that doesn't officially exist.
Built using technology that shouldn't have reached the Moon.
And scratched beside its airlock, a terrifying warning:
7 DEAD. DON'T TRUST THE RADIO.
Someone inside is still alive.
Someone who knows Colonel Haskell's name.
Someone who claims the people responsible for murdering the habitat's crew knew exactly who would come looking.
Now Haskell and his team are about to discover that the greatest threat to humanity's future in space may not be the deadly vacuum outside.
It may be whoever is waiting inside.
