The Hollow Point
The Moon is changing faster than humanity can understand it. Now Maya Chen is going there.
Months after an impossible gravitational anomaly knocked the Moon away from its predicted path, scientists have identified hidden regions inside the lunar interior capable of altering their relationship with Earth.
But identifying the phenomenon is not the same as controlling it.
JPL scientist Maya Chen joins the first crew sent to investigate the anomaly from the lunar surface. Their destination is Field Site Alpha, a far-side laboratory built around a hundred-meter borehole, precision gravimeters, seismic instruments, and machines capable of applying carefully controlled forces deep beneath the regolith.
Every operation depends on models that can expire within hours.
Every pathway remembers what happened to it before.
And every attempt to stabilize one region may transfer stress somewhere the crew cannot see.
When an experiment produces a result no existing model can explain, Maya and her team face an impossible decision: continue intervening in a system they only partly understand, or allow the Moon's hidden instability to grow unchecked.
Because the Hollow Point was never the whole problem.
It was only one part of something moving through the entire Moon.
The Hollow Point is a tense hard-science thriller filled with realistic lunar exploration, orbital mechanics, geophysics, engineering failures, and a crew racing to understand the consequences of every decision before the Moon answers somewhere else.
