Head to Fullers Bookshop for an unforgettable evening with acclaimed author David Dyer as he launches his gripping new novel, This Kingdom of Dust.

Imagine the world celebrating Neil and Buzz’s moon landing, only to be struck by terror when the lunar module’s engine fails. With no backup, the astronauts face a slow, suffocating end. David Dyer’s masterful storytelling weaves together the desperate voices of Buzz on the Moon, his wife Joan on Earth, and Aquarius, a journalist torn between duty and despair.

Set against the backdrop of the tumultuous 1960s, this spellbinding reimagining of the Apollo mission explores themes of courage, sacrifice, and the human spirit. It’s a tale that will keep you on the edge of your seat and tug at your heartstrings.

David Dyer, known for The Midnight Watch, brings his unique blend of suspense and emotional depth to this new work. Inspired by his childhood fascination with space and an encounter with moonwalkers Buzz Aldrin and Charlie Duke, David’s passion for the cosmos shines through every page.

Don’t miss this chance to meet David, hear about his creative journey, and get your book signed! Your ticket includes a glass of wine or soft drink to enjoy as you dive into this extraordinary story.
