<DIV><DIV><b>On mankind&rsquo;s last mission to the moon, a killer comes along for the ride</b></div><DIV></div><DIV><BR>Since the first manned spaceflight in 1944, NASA has conquered the outer atmosphere, explored Mars, and placed nuclear missiles on the moon. But funding for interstellar adventures&mdash;military or otherwise&mdash;has dried up. Now, NASA is planning a final lunar mission to pack up the remnants of man&rsquo;s first extraterrestrial colony. The nuclear missiles are meant to be shot into the sun, but someone onboard the USS <i>Conestoga</i> would prefer to see them fired toward Earth.</div><BR>The night before the mission launch, one of the astronauts is kidnapped from his hotel room and replaced with a surgically altered body double. By the time the other astronauts uncover the deception, the <i>Conestoga</i> is too far from home for NASA to help. On the surface of the Moon, a decades-old conspiracy has reached its final stage, and Earth&rsquo;s fate hangs in the balance.&#160;</div>
