This speculative science fiction story is from author Virginia L. Crandall.

Will our seismic and volcanic Moon survive eight countries mining its surface for Helium3 and drilling it for water in the future, or will our Moon explode in about seven years? Follow NASA Captain Wilson and his away team on the Moon to find out. The drive to extract resources could have disastrous consequences for Earth as the Moon's destruction becomes a distinct possibility.

In search of a new home for humanity and to mitigate against the potential high risks, Captain Anderson and his NASA astronauts voyage into deep space to find a new planet. But they will encounter many unexpected challenges along the way, from contact with alien species to the complex demands of colonizing another planet. The future of humanity is in the balance as the destiny of Earth relies on the decisions of a handful of individuals committed to their missions but hampered at every turn by the beguiling unknown.
