The Moon is moving away from Earth. The impossible part is that it never accelerated.
When lunar observatories detect an unexplained eight-centimeter error in the Moon’s predicted position, JPL scientist Maya Chen assumes the cause must be faulty equipment, corrupted data, or a mistake hidden inside decades of orbital calculations.
Then observatories around the world confirm the same result.
As the discrepancy grows, spacecraft tracking reveals an even more disturbing contradiction: the Moon’s position has changed, but its velocity still belongs to its old orbit. No known force can explain the difference.
Maya joins an international team of physicists, engineers, astronauts, and lunar scientists racing to understand what has changed inside the Moon. Their investigation leads to evidence of an unknown material state capable of altering gravitational coupling, a phenomenon spreading through the lunar interior toward a mysterious convergence known as the Hollow Point.
Every new measurement narrows the possibilities. Every discovery makes the danger harder to predict.
And while the world watches the sky, Maya must decide how far science can act when the laws it depends upon have begun to change.
The Long Fall is a realistic hard-science thriller about impossible measurements, lunar exploration, and humanity’s first attempt to understand a Moon that no longer follows the rules.
