172 Hours on the Moon Audiobook

Quotes

• “A thrilling read that deftly mixes horror and sci-fi in the tradition of the best space-based horror movies of the ’70s and ’80s.”

  — Hollywood Reporter

• “[A] chilling combination of science fiction and horror…Harstad effectively builds tension by moving among the perspectives of adults and teens on the Moon and on Earth…Creepy and bleak, Harstad’s story is both psychologically and atmospherically disturbing.”

  — Publishers Weekly

• “Harstad combines the perfectly paced creepiness of classic Twilight Zone episodes with Battlestar Galactica’s chilling portrayal of the vast, unknowable emptiness of space. Sympathetic characters and multpile points of view keep readers engaged, but the absolute necessity of finding out what happens will keep you turning pages late into the night.”

• “Varied accents for the three teens—who are from France, Japan, and Norway—and strong pacing showcase Holloway’s talent as a narrator. As panic sets in among the astronauts and the teens find their adult companions to be unreliable, Holloway easily delivers the rising tension, and her quiet intensity draws listeners toward the story’s chilling conclusion.”

• “This irresistible premise is often intoxicating and occasionally downright terrifying…Ultimately, this downbeat novel offers few answers, just the cold, unfathomable depths of space—and that alone is pretty darn effective.”

  — Booklist

• “Gripping and suspenseful, 172 Hours will have readers constantly asking themselves how the characters can possibly. The smooth translation flows well, and, despite a somewhat slow-paced beginning, the story grabs readers and doesn’t let go…Original, creepy, intense, and quite violent, 172 Hours is page-turning sci-fi that will stay with readers long after the shocking and heartbreaking conclusion.”
