Description

New York Times bestselling author John Scalzi flies you to the moon with his most fantastic tale to date: When the Moon Hits Your Eye

The moon has turned into cheese.

Now humanity has to deal with it.

For some its an opportunity. For others its a moment to question their faith: In God, in science, in everything. Still others try to keep the world running in the face of absurdity and uncertainty. And then there are the billions looking to the sky and wondering how a thing that was always just there is now... something absolutely impossible.

Astronauts and billionaires, comedians and bank executives, professors and presidents, teenagers and terminal patients at the end of their lives -- over the length of an entire lunar cycle, each get their moment in the moonlight. To panic, to plan, to wonder and to pray, to laugh and to grieve. All in a kaleidoscopic novel that goes all the places youd expect, and then to so many places you wouldnt.

Reviews

"A ridiculous concept imbued with gravity, charm, humor, plausible cynicism, and pathosand perhaps the merest touch of spite."--Kirkus, starred review

"When the Moon Hits Your Eye does what science fiction does best: offers a mirror up to society and explores how humanity might respond to sudden and seemingly impossible things."--Booklist, starred review

"Chock-full of Scalzi's trademark humor, and readers who love humorous science fiction in general and this author in particular are going to be rolling on the floor laughing out loud while reading."--Library Journal

"Scalzis ability to balance scathing satire with heartfelt optimism shines."--Publishers Weekly
