Join us for a talk with author David Dyer about his latest book, This Kingdom of Dust.

The whole world watched as Neil and Buzz walked on the moon, but now struck by terror, the lunar module's engine has failed and there's no way off the surface. If they can't fix the problem, they will run out of oxygen and slowly die.

The Kingdom of Dust explores this harrowing scenario through the intertwined narratives of three distinct voices - Buzz on the moon, his wife Joan back on earth, and Aquarius, the journalist compelled to craft a story he doesn't want to write. With page-turning suspense and emotional heft, this reimagining of an epic moment in history combines public spectacle with private despair.
