"The author has written a very compelling story with a good plot line that has a throwback to the Cold War. What more could you ask for? I thoroughly enjoyed this and I could hardly put it down." Reviewer"Fast-paced and different novel. This brings international geopolitics into a moon discovery in an intriguing way."&
