Originally published in 1960, Rogue Moon is an excellent novel by the Lithuanian-American author, critic, and editor Algis Budrys.
If you read classic science fiction and encounter contemporary reviews of those books, you are sure to have heard Budrys' name. He was a major critic of SF for many years. However he was also a highly capable writer of his own fiction, both at short story and novel length.
Rogue Moon is his best-known novel, a nominee for the 1961 Hugo Award which combines a lunar mystery with penetrating questions about human psychology and the philosophy of life, death, and struggle.
