Moonset by Katharyn R. King

Moonset – A Hard Sci-Fi Disaster Epic

The world didn’t end in fire. It ended in silence.

When an asteroid narrowly misses Earth but slams into the Moon instead, no one anticipates the slow, inevitable catastrophe it sets in motion. The Moon’s orbit destabilizes, its gravitational pull grows erratic, and within weeks, the planet’s delicate balance begins to unravel. Oceans surge, the atmosphere shifts, and time itself seems to distort as humanity realizes the unthinkable: the Moon is falling.

As governments collapse and the surface of Earth becomes a battleground of megatsunamis, seismic destruction, and atmospheric firestorms, a handful of survivors make one final, desperate attempt to escape into orbit. But survival in space is just as uncertain as the chaos below. With fuel dwindling, life support failing, and nowhere left to call home, they must search for the last remnants of human civilization—if there’s anything left at all.

From the crumbling Pacific trenches to the dying embers of the last Martian colony, Moonset is a harrowing, scientifically grounded thriller that explores what it means to witness the death of a world—and what might come after.

Fans of hard science fiction, survival epics, and realistic apocalyptic narratives will be captivated by this gripping, meticulously researched novel that asks one final question:

When Earth is gone, where does humanity go next?
