"DiVono's shocking mystery will keep you glued to the pages...the story is suspenseful and convincing...a super novel that you won't soon forget, even if you want to." --Science Fiction Chronicle

On the fifth mission to the Moon disaster struck, and the launch of the FS-6 team was rushed ahead to mount a rescue mission. What they found when they reached Farside Base was a situation beyond their comprehension. Two members of the FS-5 team were dead, and a third died of fright soon after they found her. And the mission commander and two other astronauts were missing. Suddenly the FS-6 team found themselves de facto detectives in a murder investigation. And hanging over them was the threat that whatever had claimed the sanity and lives of their colleagues might at any moment strike at them!

This review is from: Blood Moon (Paperback)

I was happily surprised at the high level of hard science incorporated into this novel. The descriptions of the lunar base and NASA operations are well researched, and spoken with a voice of authority. The plot and characters are tightly woven into a seamless and credible whole. The story moves along briskly and asks the reader to explore myths in search of the underlying science-just as the characters do the same. Not everything is laid out with pat explanations, instead the answers lie within the collective theories presented by the individual participants. An intelligent and entertaining read. Highly Recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good hightech science fiction., October 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Blood Moon (Paperback)

Definitely a good read. It was good technically believable science fiction with many aspects of a good thriller and mystery as well. There were even some good ghost story elements that make the story quite exciting. Good writing and good editing, I really liked the novel and had difficulty putting it down.

I recommend this one highly.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good idea, November 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Blood Moon (Paperback)

I liked this one right up until the last 40 or so pages. It just kind of fizzels out, unfortunetly. Without spoiling things for those who haven't read it yet, I'll just say that I felt that the author made some promises about resolving some mysteries she sets up in the novel, but sadly many of the most striking and intriguing elements of the mystery mearly dangle unresolved at the rather abrupt ending. However, the idea alone made the whole thing worth while, and the science was understandable and relevant to the plot. I will be on the look out for DiVono's next and I hope it may be a sequel that addresses some of the issues I alude to.
