I lettori conoscono gi? Arthur C. Clarke, che ha inaugurato la serie dei romanzi di Urania con «Le sabbie di Marte». Con lo stesso stile avvincente, la stessa precisione di scienziato, Arthur Clarke ci narra ora come gli esseri umani si preparino al primo volo nello spazio: destinazione Luna. Siamo nel 1980 circa. «Per migliaia d’anni» dice l’Autore «la razza umana si ? diffusa sulla Terra, finch? l’intero globo non fu esplorato e colonizzato.

Tally has finally become pretty. Now her looks are beyond perfect, her clothes are awesome, her boyfriend is totally hot, and she's completely popular. It's everything she's ever wanted. But beneath all the fun — the nonstop parties, the high-tech luxury, the total freedom — is a nagging sense that something's wrong. Something important. Then a message from Tally's ugly past arrives. Reading it, Tally remembers what's wrong with pretty life, and the fun stops cold.
