High Vacuum

Author of Timeliner, Crisis 2000 and The Isotope Man, writes a tale of a grim race with time. The Alpha rocket is the first manned expedition from Earth ever to reach the Moon—but it makes a crash-landing . . . There is enough oxygen to keep alive four survivors for five weeks—or two for ten—or one for twenty . . . This is a high-tension story of ordinary men in an extraordinary situation, of decisions that are literally of life and death importance, and, in the end, man's most primitive instinct . . . the will to survive—at any cost. . .
