If this were a Hollywood movie, Lawrence would be a deadbeat dad. He’d have beef with Davis who’s now dating his ex-wife. The ex-wife would be on Selene with their daughter who now hates Lawrence. They’d probably have their dog with them.
There’s none of that bullshit here. It’s written like a mystery, but in place of clues we have a series of challenges, physical or psychological, which must be solved. Tense ending. It’d been so long since I read it I couldn’t remember if they lived or died.

არი რა... უფრო survival movie-ია, ვიდრე sci-fi, თან ისეთი, სტერეოტიპულ-კლიშეებიანი - ბოლო წამებში ხო ხდება ყველაფერი და იმედი რო ჩნდება, მაგრამ მერე რო ქრება და და მერე რო სხვა იმედი ჩნდება და მერე კიდე... მოკლედ :)

Fall of Moon dust is as much a rescue story as it is a sci-fi story. Set on the moon the novel explores the human condition when it is tested by extreme circumstances. Interestingly this book was first published in 1964 well before the moon landings.

This book was such a great read for me. I picked it up and felt I was immediately thrust into this lunar environment. The action was paced sublimely. Although the science of a "sea of sand" was not correct, it was easy to suspend belief for this extremely well written story.

3.5 stars. Read as a result of reading An Informal History of the Hugos.

Plot and characters were simple but solid. Low rating because author had a character state that the invasion of Aboriginal Australia by whites was ultimately a good thing because before that the Aboriginals were so busy surviving living in a desert they didn't have any energy left to develop and join civilization.
