Book Description

March 29, 2002
Luna Parabella is a collection of related fables concerning the not-too-distant future colonization of the moon. Key to the success of interplanetary civilization are the mysterious Eyad who task a lone youth with its responsibility. Thrills and chills abound, unpredictable, often inexplicable and sometimes startling, but they never fail to entertain. Everything is here, from the depths of clandestine subterfuge to the majesty of scintillating visions as human beings conquer more than a tiny fragment of space. If there is one thing that this novel portrays most effectively, it is that hope, being eternal, always achieves fulfillment.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Superbly Well-Written, Entertaining Novel, May 11, 2002
This review is from: Luna Parabella (Paperback)
Whenever I pick up a work of science fiction or fantasy, more than anything else, I hope to find originality. The setting may be familiar, the characters may seem like old friends, but please give me a new twist, a new angle, something, anything, that sets the book apart from the thousands of similar titles.

These are my thoughts as I open a new book, my thoughts as I began Luna Parabella by William Alan Rieser. Wow! Scarcely into Chapter 1, when lightning strikes a bowl of jellybeans in young Nugey's bedroom, I knew that I was in for an entirely original and fascinating read.

Luna Parabella is a collection of related fables, fables surrounding the colonization and evolution of life on the moon. We follow along with Ang, a young being with superior powers, as he observes human behavior and frequently manipulates events.
A superbly well-written, entertaining, unpredictable and thought-provoking novel, Luna Parabella reminded me of the works of Ray Bradbury.

This novel deserves a place on every science fiction lover's bookshelf. I highly recommend Luna Parabella.
