VICTORIA, British Columbia, Jan. 20, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "The Dark Side of the Moon: How to Survive Space Travel during a Pandemic" (published by Archway Publishing) by Stephen Attree is the humorous, colorful tale of the unforgettable journey of three astronauts as they leave Earth just as a global pandemic strikes.

Three highly-trained idiot astronauts head to the moon as a global pandemic strikes and an American election looms. The astronauts must contend with a crew member swapping instant meals for a stockpile of toilet rolls, deal with boredom, face an attack by an overgrown and aggressive mutant virus, establish a lunar field hospital, and celebrate a birthday while self-distancing in a cramped space capsule. While mission control works from home, now only time will tell if the astronauts will make it back to Earth safely.

"From feedback so far kids love it for a little potty humor, the scary mutant virus and the pictures of space. Adults like it for the depth and complexity of humor," Attree says.

"The Dark Side of the Moon" is available for purchase online at the Archway link above, from Barnes & Noble and on Amazon at: https://www.amazon.com/Dark-Side-Moon-Survive-Pandemic/dp/1665705507.
