Prepare for the impossible. Expect the unthinkable. From the Hugo and Locus Award-winning author John Scalzi, When the Moon Hits Your Eye is an entirely serious take on an entirely unserious subject.

One day, suddenly and without explanation, the moon turns into a ball of cheese.

All people on Earth – children and scientists, billionaires and workers, vicars and politicians – are forced to confront the strange new world they’re living in. Over an entire lunar cycle, from a bright new moon to a brie-lient (and possibly final) solar eclipse, we follow multiple characters as they come to terms with this absurd change. The end could be nigh – and it stinks.

NASA’s top scientists send rockets to investigate. But what on earth could have caused this unexpected change? And what will they find when they get there?
