New York Times bestseller John Scalzi flies you to the moon with his most fantastic tale to date: When the Moon Hits Your Eye

The moon has turned into cheese.

Now humanity has to deal with it.

For some it’s an opportunity. For others it’s a moment to question their faith: In God, in science, in everything. Still others try to keep the world running in the face of absurdity and uncertainty. And then there are the billions looking to the sky and wondering how a thing that was always just there is now... something absolutely impossible.

Astronauts and billionaires, comedians and bank executives, professors and presidents, teenagers and terminal patients at the end of their lives -- over the length of an entire lunar cycle, each get their moment in the moonlight. To panic, to plan, to wonder and to pray, to laugh and to grieve. All in a kaleidoscopic novel that goes all the places you’d expect, and then to so many places you wouldn’t.

It’s a wild moonage daydream. Ride this rocket.

Editorial Review

Listen to the moon and back
Between conference calls and car-pool pickups, my days are more chaotic than ever—and there is absolutely nothing that allows me to escape my daily life as entertainingly as a new John Scalzi audiobook. The thoughtful blend of humour and heart had me laughing out loud and smiling from ear to ear, from start to finish. The unique combination of Scalzi’s brilliant and witty storytelling and Wil Wheaton’s incredible narration is science fiction at its finest. Whether you’ve ever wondered how you’d react if the moon turned into cheese or not, this production will entertain, delight and inspire you. —Esther B., Audible Editor

Less of a narrative than it is a snapshot of many different characters over a relatively short period of time as they adapt to a significant global event.

Interesting as a COVID-19 allegory

Different characters, reacting to the same world events, is probably the least linear and strangest Scalzi yet.… but it works. Different than almost everything else he’s written but also with the same beloved heart and whimsy. I enjoyed it and Hope you do too.

Like A short story collection, but Scalzi

It takes a very creative mind to pitch a bizarre idea to a publisher such as a moon turning to cheese. At first blush it seems a gimmick for a short story, but instead Scalzi turns it into a a gimmick for a whole bunch of short stories and in a good way. The individual themes, variations, and characters with occasional references to actions from other chapters makes this book a one of a kind experience. Despite the hokey nature of the premise, some chapters really got to me — like chapter 21, full of pathos and heart. Loved this experience start to finish.

Fascinating challenge well accomplished

The concept of the moon turning into cheese sounds like it would make for an utterly ridiculous story, but the way people react in this book rings EXACTLY true!

Unique!
