Moonscape - Tony Harmsworth

A hard science fiction novel of first contact, in which a lunar survey crew meets an ancient intelligence that spreads by rewriting minds. Claustrophobic, paranoid space horror of isolation, infection, fracturing trust and a threat that must never reach Earth. An ancient intelligence stirs beneath the lunar dust.

And it wants off the Moon. Mark Noble thought it was just another routine geological survey. But when his teammate suddenly convulses and dies inside Moonbase, something far older and far more intelligent begins to infiltrate the crew.

It doesn’t announce itself. It learns. It spreads—rewriting minds from the inside out.

With communication to Earth severed and paranoia rising, Mark must keep his team alive and lead a desperate bid for survival before the infection finds a way home. Yet as friends become enemies and the corridors close in, a darker possibility emerges: the invaders may be reaching for far more than simple conquest. And what they offer could rewrite everything humanity believes.

To save humanity, he may have to doom its future. Moonscape is the gripping first entry in the Mark Noble: Edge of the Void series: classic hard sci-fi meets psychological horror in the cold vacuum of space. Perfect for fans of Clarke, Asimov, and The Thing.
