A review by alex_ellermann
A Fall of Moondust by Arthur C. Clarke
5.0
What a brilliant novel.
Combining "man against nature" with "small group in a pressure cooker," A FALL OF MOONDUST provides drama, a bit of comedy, and bucketloads of suspense. Clarke's novel, written in 1961, prefigures stories such as APOLLO 13, ALL IS LOST, and THE MARTIAN.
If you enjoy plausible (for its time) science fiction, problem solving, and tightly-plotted novels, this book's for you.
