Golf and Outgassing

On the rugged lunar plains of Fra Mau­ro, Colonel Annie Mac­In­turn­er and rook­ie Milt John­son embark on a high-stakes mis­sion to unlock the Moon’s secrets. Tasked with deploy­ing ground­break­ing exper­i­ments and revis­it­ing Apol­lo 14’s lega­cy, they nav­i­gate treach­er­ous ter­rain and eth­i­cal dilem­mas, unearthing a lost golf ball and chas­ing whis­pers of lunar ice. But a hid­den dan­ger forced a des­per­ate evac­u­a­tion, test­ing their resolve and resource­ful­ness against the unfor­giv­ing void. Golf and Out­gassing is a grip­ping hard sci-fi tale of explo­ration, sac­ri­fice, and the endur­ing quest for knowl­edge on the lunar frontier.

 

Golf and Out­gassing is includ­ed in the col­lec­tion The Luna­dyne Inci­dent and Oth­er Sto­ries by Torn MacAlester.

A six­ty-year-old Moon mys­tery prompts Colonel Annie Mac­turn­er to make a risky deci­sion. Intrigued by an inter­view designed to manip­u­late, Mil­ton John­son, a can­di­date that con­flicts with her high­ly dis­tin­guished mil­i­tary back­ground, is select­ed as her crew-mate. Can Annie solve the land­ing site mys­tery and unrav­el Mil­ton’s enig­ma before a life-threat­en­ing col­li­sion with the past occurs? Join Annie on every bound­ing step of her jour­ney as she tra­vers­es the Lunar sur­face and keeps you on the edge of your seat!
