The Third Moon
Where does the past end and the future begin?
Haunted by inherited memories of his people’s dispossession and theft of their children, Warrain is just twelve years old when the nightmare repeats. But Warrain isn’t living on Earth in the 21st Century, he is living on the planet Imago in the far-flung future.
Five years before, Station One’s Mech’s got high on the opioid arrash, and in the bloodshed that followed, Warrain’s scientific community were expelled from the Station, his father murdered, and his mother and unborn sibling lost to him.
The scientists carve out a rudimentary Station high in Imago’s ranges, and Warrain’s friends get on with their lives. Not Warrain; he climbs the Tors to stare down at Station One, dream of his mother and sibling, and plot revenge.
And then one day, everything changes. A third moon appears in the sky, one of Imago’s life-forms calls him by name, and disease breaks out at Station One.
When the Mechs visit to seek help for their ill, Warrain seizes the opportunity to deal them a blow they will never forget. But the third moon brings changes that threaten them all and, to aid the life-form whose kind is being dispossessed and slaughtered, he must turn his back on the hate that has long sustained him and find another way to live.
If you are fascinated by the power of memory, the excitement of life on other planets, and like your fantasy with a dash of romance, you will love The Third Moon.
