Joyride to the Moon - by Mark Williams (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Brice Duvall realizes his employer, the International Space Administration (INSPAD), is a highly corrupt monolith. Disgusted and morose, he wants INSPAD to fire him so he can collect severance pay. Unexpectedly, he is tasked with heading up a public relations scam. Brice opts to turn his final mission into a free trip to the moon.

To expose fraud, Brice must become a fraud.

His assignment is to select two "ordinary people" for training and to join scientists and engineers living and working on the moon. Using feigned courage and daring, he turns his public-relations mission into his own confidence game. While biting the hand that feeds him, he hopes to open the eyes of "ordinary people" concerning the corrupt, wasteful, and deceitful nature of INSPAD. Predictably, he succumbs to earthly snares. His plan becomes complicated and dangerous. Too late, he realizes his scheme may endanger people's lives - including his own.
