Description

One day, suddenly and without explanation, the moon turns into a ball of cheese.

For some, its an opportunity. For others, its time to question their life choices. How can the world stay the same in the face of such absurdity and uncertainty

Astronauts and billionaires, comedians and bank executives, professors and presidents, teenagers and patients at the end of their lives over the length of a lunar cycle, each gets their moment in the moonlight. To panic, to plan, to wonder and to hope, to laugh and to grieve. All in a story that goes all the places youd expect, and to many others you could never anticipate. For the people of the earth, this could be the end or the beginning of a whole new world.

From the Hugo and Locus Award-winning author John Scalzi, When the Moon Hits Your Eye is an entirely serious take on an entirely unserious subject.
