Crater by Homer Hickman
Review by Jill Williamson
Crater is a Helium-3 miner on the moon. He’s also one of the few decent guys left on the natural satellite. When he saves the life of a coworker, he earns a promotion he’s not certain he wants that sends him on a dangerous adventure across the moon to pick up a package that many will do anything to keep him from obtaining.
Moon science fiction for teens? Sweet! This book was sort of a high-tech future meets the Old West on the moon. Many of the characters who live there had never been to earth. I loved Crater’s character and his voice. He was a lot of fun. This type of science fiction is a much needed genre for Christian boy readers, so I’m excited to see it available. Girls who love science fiction will like it too. There is a little romance thread in there, as well, but it’s not mushy enough to bother boys. If you like science fiction or adventure stories, you’ll like Crater.

Sounds interesting, and I’m even an old lady! I can imagine how much fun this would be for younger readers.
It was fun, Ginny.
And I’m not so young anymore, either. LOL
