After the death of Eunice,Geoffrey's grandmother,erstwhile space explorer and entrepreneur,something awkward has come to light on the Moon,and Geoffrey is tasked - well,blackmailed,really - to go up there and make sure the family's name stays suitably unblemished. But little does Geoffrey realise - or anyone else in the family,for that matter - what he's about to unravel.Eunice's ashes have already have been scattered in sight of Kilimanjaro. But the secrets she died with are about to come back out into the open,and they could change everything.Or shatter this near-utopia into shards ...
