While the entire world watches the largest
meteor shower in 10,000 years, a rogue asteroid, hidden by the meteor field,
smashes into the moon in a tremendous explosion of rock and debris. Fragments
from the asteroid, and even from the moon itself, penetrate Earth’s atmosphere
and make impact. Even though the initial damage is minimal, nerves are frayed
throughout the planet. There is significant physical damage to the lunar
surface, but experts quickly conclude there will be no lasting ramifications.
Then strange anomalies begin to manifest themselves on Earth. It starts small -
cell phone disruptions, unusual static charges and odd tidal behavior. The
world’s leading scientists, including Alex Kittner, Maddie Rhodes and Roland
Emerson, begin piecing together evidence that suggests the moon’s properties,
and its orbit, may have been permanently altered. Their fears are realized when
the anomalies increase to the point where the effect of “simulated” gravity is
being manipulated by increased electromagnetic surges coming from the moon.
People, cars and other objects are rendered momentarily weightless in random,
isolated areas around the globe. Alex, Maddie, Roland and the rest of their team
soon discover something far worse - the moon’s new orbit has put it on a
collision course with Earth! The world now has 39 days to stop it or Earth, and
all of mankind, will perish. After a failed attempt by the United States to
destroy the moon, our heroes bring all the countries of the world together in
one last hope for humanity - an international mission to the moon itself where
astronauts will attempt to reverse the magnetic effects and restore the moon to
its original orbit. Alex, whose children are now missing after the latest
rampage of anti-gravity, is emotionally torn as he must now join Roland and two
other astronauts on the Earth saving mission into space. It is a race against
time as the two celestial bodies are drawn closer and closer to impact, the
world united, watching and praying, the survival of mankind in the balance |
