Assigned to be the liaison between Earth and the aliens who claim to represent a federation of intelligent races, Kyle begins to become suspicious about the aliens' peaceful intentions and joins forces with an alien ally, regarded as a freak among her own kind, to stop a potential conspiracy.
Review :
"An alien invasion tale like none you've ever read, yet chillingly relevant to our times." -Stanley Schmidt," "editor of "Analog" and Hugo and Nebula-nominated author of "Argonaut"
"Take one part Tom Clancy, one part Hal Clement, and one part Larry Niven, shake well, and you've got Edward Lerner's edge-of-your-seat day-after-tomorrow just-what-ARE-the aliens-up-to thriller, "Moonstruck." It's a rollicking good read . . . the suspense never lets up. Highly recommended."
-Robert J. Sawyer, Best Novel Hugo Award winner for "Hominids,"
Best Novel Award winner for "The Terminal Experiment"
"Lerner's aliens are deceptive, conniving manipulators with their own agendas and their own self-serving definition of right and wrong. In other words, they're a lot like us. Be very afraid."
-Jerry Oltion, Nebula Award winner and author of "The Getaway Special"
?Moonstruck is inventive, original and ingenious, filled with well-thought-out detail which gives it scientific credibility and political plausibility. The plot pulls you in and the writing keeps you hooked right to the end."
John G. Hemry, author of "A Just Determination" and "Burden of Proof"
""Moonstruck "is a rapid fire technothriller that puts fresh thrills into the first contact tale. Fast, original, and will keep you guessing to the very last page."
-Robert A. Metzger, Best Novel Nebula Award nominee for "Picoverse"""
""Moonstruck ." . . is a great mixture of classic science fiction and modern espionage stories. The characters are interesting, the plot very imaginative and the story falls into place in the reader's mind like a good movie. . . . Edward M. Lerner has given us a book that strikes not only at theheart of each of us, but reflects the best and worst of the human race while not once dipping into the clichid, goofy or "shock for shock sake'story telling of a lesser writer."
-Larry Stanley, "PenguinComics.net"
