Synopsis

THE EPIC FIGHT FOR INDEPENDENCE ON OUR MOON HAS BEGUN!

The Lunar colony is a mining colony with only internal security capabilities. Nobody had even considered that there might soon arise a need to defend the colony from the Earth! But that day has come. Something has been uncovered on the Moon. Something important. Something . . . alien.

The Lunar colonists perceive this great discovery as their own. Finders keepers and possession being nine-tenths of the law is how things are on the Moon. But as far as the governments of the Earth are concerned, they paid for everything on the Moon, so it belongs to them.

There is only one solution: turn Luna into a battlefield!

About Josh Hayes

A retired police officer, Josh Hayes is the author of Edge of Valor, Stryker's War (Galaxy's Edge), and The Terra Nova Chronicles with Richard Fox, along with numerous short stories.

Ever since he watched his first Star Trek episode (TNG not OS), Josh has loved science fiction. Watching it, reading it, and writing it. He grew up a military brat, affording him the opportunity to meet several different types of people, in multiple states and foreign countries. After graduating high school, he joined the United States Air Force and served for six years, before leaving military life to work in law enforcement. During his time with the Wichita Police Department, Josh served as a patrol officer, bicycle unit, community policing officer, and was an assistant bomb technician on the Bomb Squad.

His experiences in both his military life and police life have given him unique glimpses into the lives of people around him and it shows through in the characters he creates.

Josh is also the creator and president of Keystroke Medium, a popular YouTube show and podcast focused on the craft of writing.

When Josh is not writing, he spends his time with his four children and his wife, Jamie.
