“A beautifully written book from a true expert . When it comes to astronauts and space exploration, [the] characters ring undeniably true.” –David Farland, New York Times -bestselling author of The Runelords saga)Before permanent lunar encampments such as Clarke’s Clavius Base (in 2001: A Space Odyssey ) or Heinlein’s Luna City (in The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress ) could be built, there would have to be the first settlers–the first people to set up shop and try to eke out an existence on the Moon.Walking On the Sea of Clouds  is the story of such lunar two couples, Stormie and Frank Pastorelli and Van and Barbara Richards, determined to survive and succeed in this near-future technological drama about the risks people will take, the emergencies they’ll face, and the sacrifices they’ll make as members of the first commercial lunar colony.In the end, one will decide to leave, one will decide to stay, one will put off deciding . . . and one will decide to die so another can live.”This is hard SF at its hardest . . . the science spot on. This is the Moon as it’s likely to be in the early days of colonization, where even the smallest problems have impacts far beyond what living on Earth has trained us to anticipate.” –Charles Gannon, national bestselling author of the Black Tide Rising series”Two things are immediately clear. First, Gray Rinehart knows his field(s) inside out; and second, he writes with grace, skill, and professional polish. What more could any reader ask?” –Mike Resnick, Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author of The Santiago Saga
