Librarian’s Note: In between editing the Moon Society’s periodical of Lunar and High Frontier fiction, Moonbeams, Chuck has been working on the sequel to his previous book “Evolution’s Child”, set in the Republic of Luna later this century, and giving things a once over. In “Shadow on the Moon”, we get both stories, the revamped “Evolution’s Child” and the new “Revelation’s Child”, in which the religious schisms of Earth try to carry their struggle to the Moon. The folks on the Moon aren’t necessarily inclined to participate.

Librarian’s Note: Contains four, count ‘em four! Moon-related items in this issue:
-’A Rondel for Apollo 11′ by Geoffrey A. Landis, a poem that reminds us to look to the future
-’The Long Way Around’ by Carl Frederick, a short story about a clever application of Aussie hopping technology on the Moon
-’The Single Larry Ti, or Fear of Black Holes and Ken’ by Brenda Cooper, which reminds us that some research might best be conducted on the Moon or elsewhere like an asteroid
-’Fly Me to the Moon’ by Marianne Dyson, a good friend of the Lunar Library and fellow NSS member, who provides a touching near-future tale of the last Moonwalker, who helps rescue some Lunar visitors despite the mental cage of Alzheimer’s disease (which is also touched upon in the movie ‘Postcards from the Future‘). There’s a clever use of nautical miles, and Ms. Dyson clues us in on what will be an increasingly important role in our technological society, that of Knowledge Capture.
The only thing I didn’t like were the two editing errors in ‘Fly Me to the Moon’, but that’s on Dell Magazines, not Ms. Dyson, who has provided us with a wonderful story.

Librarian’s Note: I am beyond impressed with this one. The graphic style makes it appealing to younger audiences, but the story is subtle enough for adults to enjoy. Spanning the years from the 1939 World’s Fair in NYC to beyond the world of tomorrow, this one is clearly a labor of love, but also of genius. It serves as touching testimony to the fact that while yesterday may be forever lost to us, tomorrow never is. There’s no question this one gets a Full Moon at perigee rating. You owe it to yourself to check this one out.
