First World
An original science fiction epic.
It’s 2018 and China has just announced to the United Nations its first manned mission to the Moon - four years ahead of schedule – which sets forth the unraveling of a worldwide cover-up that began when Apollo 11 discovered a domed installation on the Moon and with it the origins of mankind.
