On deserted moon, a team of mercenaries and scientists must uncover the secrets of two civilizations and the horrific creatures that destroyed them both… A search and rescue mission in an abandoned city goes wrong when Janice and her crew mates are attacked by giant scarab-like creatures. Infected by a strange blue energy, Janice doesn't know how much time they have left, or what will happen when time runs out. The only one who has a clue about how all the pieces tie together is a little girl who survived the last hundred years asleep in her cryo-pod. As crew members start to die, tensions rise between the lizard-like S’rellick scientists, the uplifted feline and canine mercenaries, Janice, and the sentient spaceship who is their only ticket home. What is the real mission, and who is actually in charge? Are the secrets within the city ruins worth dying for? And will any of them make it out alive? On a world where the dead rise as ghosts and multiple civilizations have already been destroyed, solving the mystery of the scarabs might be the only way to survive and escape... HELL MOON. A dark, action-packed adventure full of danger, aliens, AI, and characters you will come to love. Perfect for fans of sci-fi thrillers from the Alien movies to The Martian.
