May, 1970. A two-person Soviet crew approaches the moon, ready to accomplish the greatest feat in human historyprovided they can overcome their own petty jealousies, and the unforgiving harshness of space.
Alone on the Moon chronicles a Soviet moon mission through the eyes of Boris Volynov, a backup who's been pressed into service helping Alexei Leonov (a man he despises) attempt humanity's first lunar landing. Thoroughly researched, it's a detailed and plausible rendition of two larger-than-life personalities facing incredible challenges. It's also a meditation on luck, trust, the nature of observation, and the burden of being chosenplus the way our personal narratives can shape (or poison) our perceptions of the present. Do the stories we tell ourselves shape our fate, or can we write a new chapter? The answer awaits.
The titles in the Altered Space series are wholly separate narratives, but all deal with the mysteries of space and time, progress and circularity. Each one is an enso of words in which orbits of spacecraft, moons, planets, and people allow us fresh perspectives on the cycles of our own lives.
