About the Book:

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.

Signed Trade Hardcover: $29.99

From Booklist (Starred Review):

“In addition to traditional prose, the story is also told from articles, a Reddit AMA, and even a personal group chat providing commentary on everything from Hollywood to publishing catching lightning in a bottle, religion as industry and inspiration, and faith in science. When the Moon Hits Your Eye does what sf does best: offers a mirror up to society and explores how humanity might respond to sudden and seemingly impossible things… A simple but irresistible premise—the moon has turned to cheese!—anchors best-seller Scalzi’s latest, and his appeal continues to grow beyond traditional genre readers.”

From Publishers Weekly:

“A ridiculous premise—what if the moon actually was made of cheese?—is treated with a straight face in this cleverly entertaining sci-fi romp from Hugo Award winner Scalzi (the Old Man’s War series)... Scalzi’s ability to balance scathing satire with heartfelt optimism shines.”

From Library Journal:

“The novel can be read as hopeful. It’s occasionally insightful, and it’s frequently absolutely hilarious.”

From Kirkus (Starred Review):

“Scalzi’s premise is absurd, but it’s merely the pretext to take a multifaceted, satiric look at how Americans deal with large-scale crisis, something we’re abundantly and recently familiar with, and will no doubt experience again in the not-so-distant future. He writes of denial, conspiracy theories, anger directed at the wrong people, unscrupulous political machinations, and multiple attempts at profiting from the end of the world, for as long as it lasts. There are moments of unexpected kindness and generosity, too. Of course, Scalzi takes aim at his favorite corporate, social, and government targets, as well as at the cheap sentiment that crisis always seems to inspire (as exemplified by a catastrophic Saturday Night Live episode).”
