    About this ebook

    Book Five of the Anniversary Day Saga

    The Moon barely survived the devastation of Anniversary Day. The second round of attacks planned to kill millions more. With the life of every human and alien on the Moon hanging in the balance, the Moon’s chief security officer, Noelle DeRicci, races to discover the identity of the masterminds behind the attacks before it’s too late.

    Desperate to find answers, DeRicci turns to Retrieval Artist Miles Flint and Detective Bartholomew Nyquist for the kind of help only Flint and Nyquist can provide.

    A gripping look at a society on edge.

    “The Anniversary Day Saga just keeps getting more interesting and more complicated. Each addition is eagerly anticipated and leaves the reader anxious to discover what will happen next, who the bad guys are and what it is they are hoping to achieve.”
    —RT Book Reviews

    “This outer space tale is another triumphant entry in one of the top science fiction sagas in recent years.”
    —Alternative Worlds II

    “The Anniversary Day Saga is great fun. It’s one of those series that will linger in your mind days after you’ve turned the last page and closed the book. Check it out.”
    —Amazing Stories

    “...a future version of Law & Order...”

      The third installment of this series gives a deeper look at the web of interstellar politics and connectedness going on in the universe and it's all taking place in Armstrong City Dome on the Moon. This one took me a little longer to get into because at the beginning there are points of view from characters unknown & unnamed on planets never heard of and in the past. I felt a bit disconnected and took in the information like one does all info dumps thinking that this is probably important to what's coming but this isn't making it a riveting read by any means. Things improved greatly when Noelle & Miles are back on the scene and it's clear that the story is firmly planted on the Moon. That's kind of what I'm here for. I liked meeting the mayor Arek Soseki and hope he's around for future books (perhaps as the governor-general because he had better foresight than the current one).

      There was a detailed conspiracy going on concerning Etae and their bid to become part of Earth Alliance that was so multilayered I'm not exactly sure I've got all the details worked out. Suffice it to say, many threads were related and culminated in multiple murders, rioting and some serious terrorist activity that damaged the Dome and killed a bunch of people. The descriptions of that were unsettling. Also in the unsettling category was the way the media & corporate influence played a pivotal role in social sway and political shifts. It was an all too timely reminder of our modern age.

      As always, Miles & Noelle get the job done in the end but this time they ended a lot farther from one another as the line that is the solitary life of a Retrieval Artist, has been underscored. I'm a little sad about that but I do look forward to seeing how their cases intersect in future books. I'd recommend this one, of course.

      A noir detective story mixed with bounty hunters space opera and more. Well done. Interesting, well drawn characters. Strong world building. Solid plotting. Looking forward to reading the others in the series. This is the third.
    • 4/5
      I wish I could give 1/2 stars on the rating, because 3 stars seemed to low, 4 stars too high. I did enjoy the book. At times,I liked it a lot, but at other times, it was just OK.The primary characters were still interesting to me, even if many of the ones introduced in this story seemed one dimensional.Perhaps the problem was that this book took itself a little to seriously, which wasn't what I was looking for. The question of what behaviour is acceptable in war, and what the implications are after war, is an important and even a timely one. It was even handled in an interesting way, setting up future stories.And in the end, I decided on 4 stars, and I'll probably read the next one soon.
    • 4/5
      I'm very much enjoying this series. It examines cultural and legal situations that might arise when alien cultures, taboos and laws intersect with human equivalents. What happens when someone ficks dust off a shoulder and that is illegal in an alien culture? Well, then the offenders 'Disappear'.Great characterization, imaginative plots, and complexly drawn worlds.
