Fantasy & SciFi
A monstrous apparatus has been found on the surface of the moon. It devours and destroys in ways so incomprehensible to humans that a new language must be invented to describe it and a new kind of thinking to understand it. So far, the human guinea pigs sent there in hopes of unraveling the murderous maze have all died terrible deaths—except the last, now on suicide watch. The ideal candidate won’t go insane, even as he feels the end approaching. And now they think they’ve found their man.
Al Barker has already stared into the face of death—he can handle it again. But Barker won’t merely have to endure the trauma of dying: he will have to endure it over and over again—mentally linked to an ongoing series of duplicates of himself created and sent to the Moon by matter transmission—until the artifact reveals its secret.
With a cast of fascinating characters taking center stage, Rogue Moon is a rare thriller that doesn’t just make you sweat—it makes you think.

Hmm... Skriven av en av de stora sci - fi författarna från igår. Otroligt välskriven men samtidigt svår att ta in, eller så klarade jag kanske inte av hålla intresset uppe hela vägen ut. För snårigt, helt enkelt. Puh!

At the end when revealed that the original was published in 1960. This all made sense, but there’s a lot of listing before that, ha! In this new perspective it was a beautifully written piece with some for back then (and now) relevant questions. The atmosphere in this book truly brings you back. Worth listening to if only for that.
