A Fall of Moondust

Last updated October 31, 2026

By Arthur C. Clarke

A tourist cruiser carrying passengers across the Moon's Sea of Thirst, a basin filled with fine, powdery dust, sinks without a trace after a moonquake. Those on board find themselves buried and cut off. While the passengers struggle to stay calm as their air and power run low, engineers and scientists on the surface race to find them and work out a rescue. Arthur C. Clarke builds the suspense from realistic science and engineering.
