"Take your Star Lawyers, go to Pirate Space, and defend that rogue who betrayed your family," Admiral Bianca Matthews told her son, Tyler.

Star Lawyers Corporation must defend a known criminal in Pirate Court to prevent ancient technologies from falling into the hands of expansionist star nations, which will lead to a new era of galactic war. Only pirate Captain Flavio Tavares, who faces terrible judgment by his peers, can lead Tyler Matthews to a derelict starbase abandoned by the collapsing Galactic Empire long ago. The HOUSE OF THE SILENT MOONS orbits a remote gas giant amid hundreds of planetoids and asteroids. Aboard this massive structure, where defenders expected to return victorious from an apocalyptic struggle with ruthless enemies, the doomed Imperial forces stockpiled powerful weapons and tech modules more advanced than anything available in Tyler's 32nd century civilization. Star Lawyers must locate the starbase quickly, because the clock is ticking. Aggressive forces hostile to the Terran Commonwealth also seek the lost trove of technology. To spring the guilty pirate captain from trial by his own people, Tyler faces a court where the judge blasts convicted defendants on the spot in trials that last a few hours at most. And the court appointed prosecutor, Kaito, is the middle son of the Matthews Family's greatest foe, Hideki Tsuchiya. You can expect action in deep space, fighting in the streets of the pirate city of Port Royal, and courtroom knock-down-drag out legal battles in the Pirate courtroom.

Who will claim the ancient, awesome arsenal awaiting aboard the HOUSE OF THE SILENT MOONS?

When I started reading the first book Star Lawyers - Jumpgate Omega, I thought it started a little slow. There was a lot of information and characters to build, but I couldn’t stop reading. It kept getting better. I just finished book 4 and can’t wait for book 5 to come out in the next month or so. Caution: these book aren’t for young readers due to language and sexual content. That’s just my take. Again, I really enjoyed these books

Kangaroo court

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 27, 2021

Verified Purchase

It might perhaps be called a farce if not for the fact that milliards of people's lives might very well be at stake. Let me explain.
The infamous Tavares is at risk, having been charged by his pirate buddies of treason against the pirates.
Which is true as he was working undercover for MII. And he needs Tyler and the Star Lawyers Corp to defend him in a kangaroo court in a secret pirate location.
And to seeaten the deal Tavares intimated he knows where a secret alien station is containing some really horrific weapons are. Weapons that can crush planets. Now, Noah wants that info before their enemy does.
Thus starts a court case unlike anything you will ever read of..And intrigue and all kinds of twists that will have you gasping in surprise.
Author Tom Shepherd simply cannot put a foot wrong in any of these Star Lawyers series and every single book is simply compelling fare that proves nearly impossible to put down.
As House of the Silent Moons proves.
Enjoy.

pay your legal bills in advance, please

The Captain-Judge is a hoot, except maybe when he executes the convicted before they can pay their legal bills. And then everyone, especially Tsuchiya, learns that you really shouldn’t mess with the Parves. On the other hand, if they’re your friends, you’re pretty lucky.

OK, I’ve been reading sci-fi since I was knee hight to a bug eyed monster, over 60 years (dang!). I cut my teeth on E.E.Doc Smith and Enid Blyton (look her up). I read a LOT, and rarely take time to post a review. Here it goes: “I really LIKE the Star Lawyers books!” They are funny, intricate, and just plain good. I’m retired military, and retired DoD, and I submit that this is one vet author that has his sh** in one basket. I await book 5!! Oh, and yeah, this is a real review.

House of the Silent Moons is a well written and exciting addition to the Star Lawyers saga. I really don't want to ruin anything for the future reader so there won't be any details. All I will say is Dang nab it, that was gripping, thrilling, and a lot of fun to read. It was one of those "can't put down" books.

As all the previous books this one doesn't fail to impress. Just when you think you won't be surprised any more m, then it jumps up and surprises you. Highly recommended.

Getting better by the book.

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on August 15, 2020

Verified Purchase

This series is improving with every book. The plots remain interesting a d changing, but the characters are becoming "whole". There are now enough people to carry the action in more than one place at a time and the split of characters means that the story could look at , in this case, either of the sub-teams and prove complete.
The editors missed a few points here, but not enough to damage the whole.

Well done again, Dr Tom.

Tom Shepherd.
It’s so rich in character, plot and scene..
this book combines totally convincing forecasting future with great characters and a law trial procedural with some neat twists and turns to achieve full page-turner status—all without sacrificing intelligence for thrills. Another snagging installment in the series! Some real heartbreaking scenes that left me devastated and tearful, witty dialogue and fun moments.
I look forward to each new work Dr. Tom puts out!

Great plot, characters revealing more about themselves and so much more still to work through. Clever writing with the eclectic band of characters adding greatly to the stimulating story. The raw writing style at times grates my sensitivities.
