Blood Moon: Sharman DiVono

In the early part of the 21st century, the U.S. renewed its commitment to the space programme, building a new base on the far side of the moon. The first four missions went off without a hitch. But on the fifth mission, disaster struck. First came an urgent message from Farside Base -then silence. The launch of FS-6 was moved up to mount a rescue mission but when they reached Farside, the situation they found was beyond all human comprehension. The station was a mess, with graffiti scrawled everywhere, including the mysterious phrase, 'food for the Moon.' Two members of FS-5 were dead, obviously murdered. A third died of fright not long after they found her. And the mission commander and two others were missing. The FS-6 team were now de facto detectives in a murder investigation and hanging over them all was the threat that whatever had claimed the sanity and lives of their colleagues migh , at any moment, strike again.
