Far Side of the Moon

Settler Chronicles #2

by Jeannette Bedard

Margo Murphy is running out of time in a borrowed body.

Last night, Margo and her fellow colonists survived The Conglomerate's efforts to destroy them. Now all she wants is to build a peaceful life away from the corporate monopoly dominating Earth. But a virus has infected the colony's AI, threatening their life support.

The virus is only a symptom of a deeper evil, the culmination of a cold war conducted in secrecy for almost two centuries reaches its zenith in an enigmatic boy, abandoned to die on their world.

To purge the virus, save the boy and protect the colony, Margo needs information from The Conglomerate's headquarters orbiting Earth, but she's in another solar system without a spaceship. Her only option is an experimental technology to project her mind across the galaxy.

Will Margo gain access The Conglomerate’s secrets to save her world, or will her mind be lost forever in the cold void of space?

About the author

Always writing, Jeannette has filled hard drives with ones and zeros that occasionally coalesce into books. Her non-linear career path has included both working as both a soldier and a scientist (but not at the same time). Currently, she lives on a non-tropical island in the Pacific with her husband and daughter and she really likes math jokes, especially if there is pi involved.

This was a whirlwind journey with plenty of excitement. Where almost half the colony was wiped out in the first book it was nice to see the death rate slow down a bit in this book. Learning more about the generational villains was a great feature of this book.

As I look at the description of this book here on Goodreads I am glad that I picked up this book because I had read the first book (recommended for me by Bookbub) rather than having read this description. It was better to learn about many of the things listed in the description naturally in the story rather than from the description.

The action and pacing was good. There were a couple scenes where I was reading faster to see what would happen next. Similar issue with character development as the first in the series. Evil people are still pretty much all evil. Minor redemption for one character, and another character was acting like an immature child (and no, it wasn't the actual child in the story, I liked them).

To short

The story seems far to short I just wanted it to keep going so that I can find out what happens next can’t wait

There's a lot to cover, so to get my full opinion, it's best just to watch the video review.

Far side of the moon

I really enjoyed this, the second book, and Margo continued to be courageous and inciteful. Bad guys and good guys on a new planet, what's not to like?

I loved Far Side of the Moon! It’s even better than the first volume!

Far Side of the Moon, A Review. LAS.

This is a great sequel to the first book in the series. Hard science, great characters and plot... I can hardly wait to read the third book.

There's a virus in the computer that has to be dug out. Another great story. Margo goes through a special procedure to help get the virus out.

The moment I finished book one I rushed to buy book two, I was so eager to find out what happened next. I enjoyed it but was disappointed to find it ended on a cliffhanger. I like a book to have some sort of resolution, even if there are outstanding issues to be addressed in the next book. This left me in mid air. If you don't mind that, then I recommend this book.
