I was unable to get into this story. Following my usual rule of giving a book 60-80 pages to grab my interest and then skimming through it, I found nothing interesting in the story. The writer was trying to develop the characters and lay a foundation for a story using tired sounding astronauts just glad to finally be going back to the moon. Then a Chinese ship crash lands on the back side of the moon and the American mission changes to a rescue mission. Some of the writers characters are ok in the middle and end of the book, but it felt like it was a struggle to develop the story and keep it moving.
