What if humanity's first permanent Moon base became its greatest betrayal?
When physicist Orion Vale and biologist Selene Marr volunteer for DOME ZERO, a year-long lunar survival experiment, they believe they are helping pave the way for humanity's future among the stars. Instead, they discover they have been abandoned by the corporation that sent them-reduced to little more than expendable data in a deadly experiment.
With their habitat failing and rescue impossible, they set out across the dark lunar surface on a desperate journey that leads to an astonishing discovery: an ancient civilization hidden beneath the Moon. The Kaelmir have watched Earth for hundreds of thousands of years, preserving knowledge that could transform science, medicine, and humanity's understanding of its own origins.
As Orion and Selene earn the trust of their mysterious hosts, they uncover secrets that challenge everything they thought they knew about life, consciousness, and civilization. But returning to Earth means facing an even greater question: Is humanity ready for the truth?
Blending hard science, gripping survival, first-contact adventure, and profound philosophical speculation, DOME ZERO: Left Behind on the Moon is a thought-provoking science fiction novel about courage, betrayal, discovery, and the enduring power of hope. Perfect for readers who enjoy intelligent, character-driven science fiction in the tradition of the genre's greatest classics.
