Dead Men Flying

Bill Patterson crafts a tense narrative where the ambitious Mars Expedition is abruptly derailed by a catastrophic event: the explosion of the Moon. This unforeseen disaster not only shatters the dreams of colonizing Mars but also unleashes chaos across the solar system.

As debris rains down, survivors are left to grapple with the fallout of humanity’s hubris. They must navigate a landscape filled with peril, both from the remnants of the Moon and from within their own ranks, as fear and desperation take hold. Trust is in short supply, and alliances are tested when survival becomes the only priority.

In a world spiraling out of control, the characters are faced with difficult choices that will determine their fates and the future of space exploration itself. The urgency and thrill of their journey drive the heart of the story, revealing the fragility of life in the vastness of space.
