johnridleyA Fall of Moondust by Arthur C Clarke
★★★★☆
Solid, fairly short golden age SF. A tourist attraction on the moon goes wrong, the tourists are trapped in a very unusual situation, the people on board have to survive while those outside have to find them and find a way to rescue them. Clarke as always has interesting ideas. As with much SF of the age, it has facts wrong (no such areas on the moon) but if you can't accept that as a basis for a story you really need to stay away from SF, at least that written more than 10 years ago.
