Title: Lunar Discovery: Let the Space Race Begin

Author: Salvador Mercer

Publication Date: Sep 2015

Genre: Sci-Fi

Score: 3/5

This is a novel about a discovery of an alien object on the moon and the race to recover it. Three nations, USA, Russia, and China are locked in a fight to get to the moon first and claim ownership of the alien object.

This is a very technical description of what it would take for a nation to land on the moon. So, there’s some plot and a lot of orbital, mechanical, and chemical engineering exposition. It was ok. There is a sequel, but I don’t think I’ll be following this one up. I listened to the audible version of this novel and it was performed well.

This is my first experience with Mercer, and perhaps a horrible book to start with as even the way the Goodreads synopsis reads, its set up blatantly as a sequel bait that apparently we’re supposed to beg the author for? Uhm, I won’t begging the author to continue this. Its very lackluster. The information, the ideas, the characters are all there, but this is not a perfectly cut gem of a story. A diamond in the rough that could shape up? Possibly.
