What if NASA’s worst fear had come true?

The Apollo 11 Mission was one of the most audacious enterprises in all of human history. It safely delivered two men to the surface of the Moon and returned them safely to Earth.

But what if the lunar lander had broken down on the Moon? It was the thing that worried NASA the most, because there was no plan B.  The astronauts would have been trapped, slowly running out of oxygen and water without any hope of rescue. And the whole world would have watched on in horror.

Mission Control had a special protocol ready to go. It was inexorable and merciless.

What might the astronauts have done to try to save themselves? And what might their wives have done?

This Kingdom of Dust explores this harrowing scenario through the intertwined narratives of Buzz on the Moon, his wife Joan on Earth, and Aquarius, the journalist who is compelled to write their story.
