About This Book

A multinational crew returns from a lunar mission when a young crew member, obsessed with the experience of being in space, abruptly abandons the ship by stepping into the void. The narrative traces the crew's routine operations, their private misgivings about the youth's temperament, and the practical and emotional fallout of the act. Intimate cabin scenes and technical detail alternate with reflections on longing and alienation, exploring the addictive allure of the frontier and how differing backgrounds and anxieties shape collective and individual responses to an inexplicable disappearance.
