What if the moon landing wasn't just a giant leap for mankind, but a cosmic punchline? In a world where the space race is as much about spectacle as science, Neil Armslong, Buzz Alderman, and Michael Coleman are about to embark on humanity's most ambitious journey: to the moon. Or so they think. Meanwhile, miles away in a meticulously crafted studio, visionary director Stanley Rubik is filming a backup moon landing, just in case. What could possibly go wrong when a real cosmic journey collides with a meticulously staged farce? Mooned takes you on a hilariously speculative ride through the greatest hoax never told. As the real astronauts grapple with existential dread and a moon that seems to be watching their every move, Rubik battles his own terrestrial demons-an anxious producer, a demanding network, and a script that threatens to derail his masterpiece. Blending sharp wit, satirical commentary, and a healthy dose of cosmic absurdity, this novel asks: what if the truth was stranger, and funnier, than any conspiracy theory? Prepare for a launch into laughter, where every step is a misstep, and the only thing more vast than space is human folly.
