Adrift on the Sea of Rains (Apollo Quartet 1), by Ian Sales

When a nuclear war breaks out and the nations of the Earth are destroyed, it maroons a group of astronauts on the Moon. Using the "torsion field generator", they hope to find an alternate Earth that did not suffer nuclear armageddon. But once they do, how will they return home? They have one Lunar Module,. which can carry only four astronauts into lunar orbit...

scrupulously researched, written with an expert blend of technical precision, descriptive vividness and emotional penetration --Adam Roberts, author of By Light Alone

hushed, taut and climactic ... as poignant as it is impeccably researched --Kim Lakin-Smith, author of Cyber Circus

Sales is a powerful new voice in Science Fiction, and Adrift on the Sea of Rains a stunning novella. --Andy Remic, author of Themeplanet

This is probably the best piece of science fiction I’ve read so far this year --Lavie Tidhar, author of Osama

Available now on Kindle

EDIT
Perhaps this link works better - Amazon UK for £2.56: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Adrift-Rains...7326158&sr=8-2

And on Amazon US for $3.99: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...pf_rd_i=507846

EDIT
For those wanting hardcopy editions, it's better if you bought them from http://shop.whippleshieldbooks.com/
(Yes, it's a little more but Amazon are unlikely to ever have the book in stock despite what their websites say)
