Book Summary – 
172 Hours on the Moon (published in 2008) is a gripping science fiction horror novel that combines mystery, suspense, and psychological tension. The story begins when NASA, in an attempt to rekindle public interest in space exploration, announces a worldwide lottery that will send three teenagers to the Moon alongside professional astronauts. The winners—Mia from Norway, Midori from Japan, and Antoine from France—embark on what seems like a dream adventure. However, once they land on the abandoned moon base DARLAH 2, they discover that something sinister is waiting for them. As strange occurrences unfold, the crew realizes that they are not alone—and survival becomes a desperate struggle against a terrifying, otherworldly threat. Blending realism with chilling horror, Harstad’s novel explores isolation, fear, and the dark side of human curiosity, making it a haunting and unforgettable read.
