Perigee

In the not so distant future, The Lunar Base is an internationally owned facility placed on the moon. It is as much a home as a workplace for young astronomers and astronauts, and is quite literally a full time job in every sense of the phrase. The main research that is conducted at the TLB is on developing ways to transport manned spacecrafts great distances, and of course, all things astronomy.

25 year old astronautical engineer Ailey Dalgarno has been living and working at TLB for three years when TLB's ambassador Felix Corona is kidnapped by a before little-known terrorist group by the name of ARS. As the engineer who helped design the type of spacecraft Felix Corona is held captive in, Ailey feels compelled to save him at any cost.

By saving Felix Corona, Ailey gains status and becomes regarded as a hero. But she is also pulled into the behind-the-scenes of TLB, and bit by bit she starts to understand what is really going on. And who is Felix Corona, really?
