Editorial Book Review:

By Marcos Buttler

The world of this book is very different and interesting, and I was drawn in from the first page. Sci-fi, excitement, and the power of the human spirit to deal with big problems are all in this story. The thing I liked most about the book was that it wasn't just about the technology or the big adventures in space, even though those were interesting. This trip was also about how these kinds of trips make people feel and think.  Being living isn't the only thing that matters; you have to change, react, and find meaning in a world that is both strange and familiar.

Really cool idea that a planet could live on two different planes. The world is beautiful. The chaos that the asteroids cause by colliding with each other is a really interesting setting for the drama that is going on. As the story goes on, you become more interested in the people who have made the planet their home, even though there is still a chance that it could become unstable. I liked how the book had both sci-fi and very human challenges, like making sacrifices, dealing with relationships that are under a lot of stress, and wanting to protect what you've built.

I was particularly struck by the way the author handles the conflict. Even though the colonists are up against forces that seem impossible to beat, they show an amazing amount of toughness and drive. Some people have hope even when the odds are against them, and that's what keeps you reading. This isn't just a story about fights with other people; it's also about growing as a person. In this story, people learn to accept their position and find strength in numbers, even when things look the worst.

The book's pace was also very good. I never thought the story was boring or moving too quickly. There's a good mix of scenes with a lot going on and quieter, more contemplative ones. This makes the reader really feel what's going on in the mind.

If you enjoy science fiction with a human touch, where survival is about more than just defeating the odds, but also about what you learn along the way, this is the book for you. It's an adventure, yes, but it's also a reflection on resilience, community, and the links that bind us to our homes.

About the Author

R.E. Mason

Born and raised outside Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, R.E. Mason is a happily retired, blind octogenarian living in the Bay Area in Northern California. As a lad, Richard always had a curiosity for what he might find on the other side of the hill; and all throughout his life, he sought to find it.

Richard had the notion that he belonged somewhere else, somewhere out there, and that someday they would come for him. He’s waited long enough. He created that world, that adventure, those people and friends, where he can go from time to time. This first excursion, MOONS, takes him to that other world. And now that he knows the way, he is sure to come back.
