Description
It’s been twelve years since a massive solar
flare destroyed communications with the American base on the far side of the
Moon, killing the platinum mining workers and leaving just three adults to
raise thirty-seven orphans. Isolated, the base has carried on, and the orphans—now teenagers—have taken up the
mining. It’s all they’ve ever
known. But now enigmatic lights on the
horizon and in the sky mark the arrival of someone—or something—that heralds an end
to a patterned life of restraint and enforced duty. Katlin, the daughter of the base leader, has
enjoyed the full education afforded by the base library, and finds her
loyalties torn between her father and Van, the capable teenage leader who is
ready to break the yoke of servitude and face the wonders available in the wide
universe.
Advance Praise
“. . . Moonstroke shines with adolescent fortitude, adventure, and determination . . . a rich dramatic world inhabited by familiar, but original archetypes.”
-Lee Ware for US Review of Books
“. . . an entirely believable reality . . . Readler’s novel is one that will appeal to readers of all ages. It is science fiction but deals more with social issues and relationships between generations and classes. This will be one book that I will happily recommend and share with my friends and students!”
-Tamara Benson for San Francisco Book Review
“. . . [a] flawlessly crafted story that portrays amazing sci-fi while at the same time capturing the humanity at the heart of it all . . . If you love stories that capture both sci-fi and humanity in equal measures, you will definitely enjoy Moonstroke.”
-Faridah Nassozi for Readers’ Favorite
“[the] story of an abandoned mining colony is great—full of suspense, drama, and intrigue. . . a great story of survival when the odds of that are minuscule, and well worth a read.”
- Thomas Rojek for Manhattan Book Review
