Short description
They weren't exactly the crew the President had in mind when he announced his plan to build a permanent base on the moon so the Chinese wouldn't do it first, but there they were, a boring collection of peaceful, happy settlers who couldn't even get a decent reality TV show rating. Life was perfectly dull until the new guy arrived. Now if they could only find out who he was and where he'd come fromExtended description

This story is all about character and what wonderful characters they are! Even the New Guy shines in his own way. I was sad to see it end, though I like the way the central mystery of the story was handled. I hope Tom cooks up some more adventures for these plucky, and very Zen, colonists.

Tom Litchtenberg has a funny story in this little novel. I giggled to myself several times as I read through it. When a surprise visitor ends up in the moon base, it’s not only how the residents react to the visit that is funny, but the set up of the entire situation. Tom has a slanted view in this work of the future and the politics that govern it. From the race to beat the Chinese in building a moon base, that has no other reason to exist then getting there first, to the odd qualifications of the residents, it is obvious that a lot of pre-planning and thought went into the storyline. (Unless Tom actually thinks this wacky!) In a quirky way the story holds together and is plausible only because the characters fit into the setup so perfectly. I throughly enjoyed it!
