“Science fiction as it should be written.” Isaac Asimov
The Countdown has begun…
The world’s superpowers have colonized the moon, the Earth becoming more and more decrepit.
On this new territory, the bases of two former enemies join forces: The USA’s Moonbase, or known by its inhabitants as ‘Selene’, and Russia’s Lunagrad.
The Countdown to nuclear war and annihilation has begun…
Together, they must launch the most daring offensive ever against Earth in an attempt to save mankind…
From itself.
