Product Description

In July of 2049, Dr. Thomas McKinsey and a small band of scientists rebelled against the recently installed Congress-in-Council and declared the moon a republic. Six months later, McKinsey's followers were dead and he was dying. With the world below him entering a prolonged global struggle, McKinsey programmed the computers of Tranquility to continue his strategic vision, a plan to establish world unity even at a terrible cost. As an afterthought, he instructed the machines to raise the colony's only surviving resident, a baby named Grey Waters destined to grow up on an abandoned moon base with computers as his only companions.Now it's the year 2069, and once again humans venture to the moon, uninvited and unwelcome. Led by the widow of the long deceased Thomas McKinsey, each of the five crew members have a claim on Tranquility's past. Particularly interesting to Grey is Captain Kris Fairfield, a war hero haunted by her war time experiences. As the computers plan to eliminate this new threat to their authority, Grey has an agenda of his own, initiating a civil war. While the newcomers stumble through the middle of a situation they don't understand, Grey pushes the rebellion to an ultimate confrontation for control of the moon, and possibly the future of Earth as well.
