Three teenagers are going on the trip of a lifetime. Only one is coming back. It's been more than forty years since NASA sent the first men to the moon, and to grab some much-needed funding and attention, they decide to launch an historic international lottery in which three lucky teenagers can win a week-long trip to moon base DARLAH 2-a place that no one but top government officials even knew existed until now. The three winners, Antoine, Midori, and Mia, come from all over the world. But just before the scheduled launch, the teenagers each experience strange, inexplicable events. Little do they know that there was a reason NASA never sent anyone back there until now-a sinister reason. But the countdown has already begun ...

edit: i can't stop thinking about how this book actually jumpscared me
OH. MY. GOD.
Well, then, that's me terrified of the moon!
I have never read a more thrilling book in my entire life. I finished this book on the plane from London to Norway and I was straight out crying. Yep. I was so scared, so freaked out, so sad and distraught. This book is absolutely terrifying. In some ways, it reminded me of the Doctor Who two-parter The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit, which scares me to death even after so many years.
I was a bit hesitant about this book being written by a Norwegian author, as I normally don't like Norwegian books at all. That is also why I chose to read this in English rather than Norwegian, which is my native language. The translator has done a brilliant job. The writing is alive and flows well. I loved it.
Definitely read this book if you like creepy, twisted stuff. You won't regret it. You'll never look at the moon the same way again!
I expected science fiction. I got space horror. And cheesy space horror, at that. I kept expecting it to get better, but it never did.
A bit of a disappointment.
