Description

The Alpha rocket is the first manned expedition from Earth ever to reach the moon - but it makes a crash-landing... There is enough oxygen to keep alive four survivors for five weeks - or two for ten - or one for twenty... This is a high-tension story of ordinary men in an extraordinary situation, of decisions that are literally of life and death importance, and, in the end, man's most primitive instinct... the will to survive - at any cost...
