"Gesunken im 'Meer des Durstes' Für alle Besucher des Mondes ist es etwas vollkommen Neues: Ein Meer aus feinstem Staub, durch das Vakuum trockener als der ausgedörrte Sand der Sahara, das sich bewegte wie Wasser. Ein spezieller Gleiter, die Selene, kann das Staubmeer befahren wie ein Schiff auf der Erde die Ozeane. Als bei einem Mondbeben der Untergrund um mehr als fünfzehn Meter absackt, wird die Selene vom Staub verschlungen. Die Crew versucht alles, um die Passagiere zu beschäftigen - völlig im Ungewissen, ob Hilfe sie erreichen wird, bevor der Sauerstoff zu Ende geht. Arthur C. Clarke war einer der bedeutendsten Autoren der internationalen Science Fiction. Geboren 1917 in Minehead, Somerset, studierte er nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg Physik und Mathematik am King's College in London. Zugleich legte er mit seinen Kurzgeschichten und Romanen den Grundstein für eine beispiellose Schriftsteller-Laufbahn. Neben zahllosen Sachbüchern zählen zu seinen grössten Werken die Romane 'Die letzte Generation' und '2001 - Odyssee im Weltraum', nach dem Stanley Kubrick seinen legendären Film drehte. Clarke starb im März 2008 in seiner Wahlheimat Sri Lanka."

"Vědeckofantastický román anglického spisovatele (nar. 1917), jenž má za sebou už na třináct prozaických knih. V této poslední z r. 1961 přenáší čtenáře do 21. století a na Měsíc, kde lidé už normálně žijí i kam podnikají výlety ze Země. Vypráví o cestě skupiny turistů měsíčním autobusem, jeho postižení přírodní katastrofou, pádu do hlubiny a zavalení měsíčním prachem a o složité a důmyslné záchraně cestujících."

"A lunar cruise ends in disaster after a moonquake sinks the cruiser Selene beneath a sea of liquid-fine lunar dust on the Moon's Sea of Thirst. Facing enormous environmental barriers, the rescue team finds their courage, ingenuity, and resources tested to the breaking point-as trapped passengers and crew slowly run out of time. Originally published in 1961, A Fall of Moondust was nominated for a Hugo Award for Best Novel-and was the first science fiction tale chosen as a Reader's Digest Condensed Book. Informed by the most current scientific knowledge of the time, A Fall of Moondust is a realistically-conceived and gripping story of human resourcefulness and triumph in the face of nearly-insurmountable challenges."
