Section: Moon Fiction“Back to the Moon”Ken Murphy / 3:40 am December 21st, 2010 Taylor, Travis S. & Les Johnson “Casablanca on the Moon” (screenplay)Ken Murphy / 11:06 pm September 1st, 2010 Phelan, William “Doctor Who: Apollo 23″Ken Murphy / 4:02 am September 1st, 2010 Richards, Justin Librarian’s Note: This is the third Doctor Who book in the Lunar Library, this one updated for the 11th (!?!) Doctor. Yours truly grew up with Tom Baker back in the mid-70s, the 4th Doctor to travel through time and relative dimensions in space. Tempus fugit. “Red Moon”Ken Murphy / 11:18 pm August 13th, 2010 Berman, Chris Librarian’s Note: I think this is the third book in the Moon Fiction section of the Lunar Library with the title ‘Red Moon’. It seems rather popular, but I did see a reddish waxing crescent low over the horizon the other day, so I suppose it is an easily graspable concept. This time around the “Reds” are the Chinese, who in 2017 head to the Lunar south pole and pull the old “Yeah, we’re here and now it’s ours; whatcha gonna do about it, huh?” maneuver, throwing the U.S. in a tizzy and revealing far deeper and more sinister agendas. “The Next Continent”Ken Murphy / 12:04 am August 4th, 2010 Issui Ogawa. Trans. by Jim Hubbert Librarian’s Note: More future fiction about going to the Moon, this time from Japan. Given how much I’ve enjoyed their manga and anime, I’m looking forward to this one. [Update: With good reason] “Shadow on the Moon”Ken Murphy / 2:11 am July 12th, 2010 Lesher, Charles Lee 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. “Analog Science Fiction and Fact - Special Double Issue”Ken Murphy / 11:47 pm June 25th, 2010  Analog Science Fiction and Fact Librarian’s Note: Contains four, count ‘em four! Moon-related items in this issue: 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. “Platinum Moon”Ken Murphy / 1:04 am June 13th, 2010 White, Bill “Lunar Pioneers”Ken Murphy / 5:50 pm March 28th, 2010  Harris, Dr. Philip R., w/Dr. David G. Schrunk Librarian’s Note: As a special treat for Lunar Library visitors, we’ve got a special gift from Dr. Harris and The Moon Society, the first edition of Dr. Harris’ sequel to his 2003 book “Launch Out“, about private efforts to establish a colony on the Moon. Here, for the first time anywhere, is the text for Lunar Pioneers. Each link is a MS Word file that is 1MB or less. Enjoy this tale of a possible Lunar future, courtesy of The Moon Society! Front Matter “Carmen McCallum, Tome 2: Mare Tranquillitatis” (BD)Ken Murphy / 9:19 pm February 16th, 2010 Duval, Fred. Illus. par Gess & Florence Breton “Blue Space: Tycho Incident” (BD)Ken Murphy / 9:14 pm February 16th, 2010 Marazano, Richard & Chris Lamquet “Moonbeams #4″Ken Murphy / 1:13 am September 13th, 2009  Lesher, Charles (Ed.) “Project Moonbase and Others”Ken Murphy / 4:56 pm August 16th, 2009 Heinlein, Robert. Edited by Bob Eggleton & John Scalzi “Whatever Happened to the World of Tomorrow?” (graphic novel)Ken Murphy / 12:04 am June 20th, 2009 Fies, Brian 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. “Moonbeams #3″Ken Murphy / 11:01 pm May 12th, 2009  Lesher, Charles (Ed.) “Moonbeams #2″Ken Murphy / 3:28 pm January 25th, 2009  Lesher, Charles (ed.) “True Eden: Lunar Redemption”Ken Murphy / 12:31 am January 22nd, 2009 Phillips, Stephen “Shadow Engineer”Ken Murphy / 1:01 am December 29th, 2008 Bogatin, Eric “Tranquility Dome - Pilot” (video)Ken Murphy / 3:21 am December 12th, 2008  Proser, Chip

Librarian’s Note: A nice septet of short stories themed on near-Earth, near-future space and especially our Moon. Enjoy! “Touchstone”Ken Murphy / 4:02 am January 1st, 2008 Walling, William “Evolution’s Child”Ken Murphy / 6:51 pm October 6th, 2007 Lesher, Charles “Apollo 21″Ken Murphy / 3:30 pm March 30th, 2007  Hogan, Frank “Prime Time” (e-book)Ken Murphy / 1:21 am March 1st, 2007  Burkholder, Vicky |
