172 Hours on the Moon by Johan Harstad

Synopsis:
It's been decades since anyone set foot on the moon. Now three ordinary teenagers, the winners of NASA's unprecedented, worldwide lottery, are about to become the first young people in space--and change their lives forever. Mia, from Norway, hopes this will be her punk band's ticket to fame and fortune. Midori believes it's her way out of her restrained life in Japan. Antoine, from France, just wants to get as far away from his ex-girlfriend as possible.
It's the opportunity of a lifetime, but little do the teenagers know that something sinister is waiting for them on the desolate surface of the moon. And in the black vacuum of space... no one is coming to save them.
In this chilling adventure set in the most brutal landscape known to man, highly acclaimed Norwegian novelist Johan Harstad creates a vivid and frightening world of possibilities we can only hope never come true.
This book was creepy! I mean you think these three kids have a chance of a life time going to the moon. How cool is that? They will be famous, well know and get everything they could ever want or hope for.
Once getting there though it's like 'they should have stayed home.' 
172 Hours on The Moon keep me on my toes and turning the page, and a book that must be read down to the very very last sentence.
