All his life, he’d had one goal. Dealing, negotiating, manipulating, while defying the advice of his family, his friends and his business partners, he built the company that built the first atomic Moon rocket, and thus began Humanity’s future in the stars. But his one great dream—to go to the Moon himself—was always denied him, right up until the very end… At which point, he found himself in a peculiar situation.

He was the Man Who Sold the Moon. What price will the Moon put on him?


Based on the short story Requiem, and also The Man Who Sold The Moon, by Robert A. Heinlein. Reading Requiem first is recommended but not necessary. (If you have an e-reader or an e-reader program and an Amazon account, you can get a free sample which includes the short story.)

Rated “T” for a bloody lip.

The cover art is an edited screen shot from the movie Destination Moon. Credit to datNaro for demEyes.

Thanks to Estee, Humanoid, and book_burner for their cogent suggestions.
