Nick Morrison's life crumbled in the wake of a lunar catastrophe, leaving him broken and betrayed. But he's not one to back down, and now, he's returning to the Moon to rebuild what was lost.
Lunar prospecting has become a gold rush, and Nick has a bold plan to stake his claim, despite the bone-chilling challenges of survival in space. To succeed, he must form an uneasy alliance with Joe Massad, a man who once nearly cost Nick everything. Joe claims to have changed, but can Nick really trust him?
As deadly accidents pile up on the Moon base, Nick soon realizes that Joe isn't his only adversary. Powerful enemies on Earth are closing in, threatening not just Nick but the lives of everyone on the lunar surface.
The sequel to the stunning science-based thriller from NYT-bestselling authors Felix R. Savage and Rhett Bruno delivers a pulse-pounding drama of lunar survival and heartbreak. It’s perfect for fans of The Martian, Artemis, and For all Mankind.
Moon 2.0: A Hard Science Fiction Thriller (Eighth Continent Book 2) Reviews
-
This book surprised me. The first already set up a significant web of intrigue for the path to conquer the moon. Sometimes it’s spinning faster than I can keep track of, but I hung on to the end of this one and wow, it’s not letting up anytime soon. Book three is going to be epic, I’m sure of it!

What can I say? Bravo, I’m excited for the next!!!

Individual deaths stopped mattering after a while. The first one, two, or five changed you forever. After that it was just the cost of survival… on the moon.
"Moon 2.0" - unsurprisingly the 2nd instalment of Rhett C. Bruno' and Felix R. Savage's "Eighth Continent" - feels far too realistic in many ways to be considered truly fiction. Throughout this story, I kept thinking to myself "this is exactly how it could happen". Not only because the book itself is obviously expertly researched and crafted but because it. All. Makes. Too. Much. Sense! From the science to the continuing corporate shenanigans to the national / international / and interspatial politics and economic realities, it's just simply breath-taking in scope and execution.
Moon 2.0 is for everyone. That’s not a political statement. It’s an expression of our basic human rights.
Starting promptly after I finished Book 1 (well, after a good night's sleep and a spirited re-charge of coffee), I eagerly dove into this book that reads more like it's 60 pages long than nearly 600. Even with the complexity the authors have built in, the story reads like, well, it's been flung (slung?) from a 20 km long slingshot! And even though I obviously still had the events of the first chapter fresh in my mind, I appreciated the excellent pain-free slide into the new story, which was accomplished without spending too much time on events or circumstances as they stood at the end of Book 1. No rest for the wicked, the weary, or the sometimes absolutely insane!
In the sunlit silence, ghosts of the dead seemed to drift like motes of dust, uncountable.
Now as usual, I'm going to do my damndest not to provide any spoilers here. The authors take so many of the elements that made "The Eighth Continent" so exciting and ramp them up to maximum overdrive. They also add a fascinating new element that I hadn't considered would be such a focus on the 'rich and famous' but again, it just feels so actual. I mean, can we consider something science fiction only because we don't know about it. Because you know after considering it, you calculate a 99.999% probability that it's going on right now? Oh but the vaccine conspiracy folks are not gonna like this new addition to their list of grievances, I can tell you that!
Assuming our results hold up… there’s approximately thirteen trillion dollars of (metals) out here.
True, I will say along with all these flowers I'm handing out that the dynamics of the growing number of players continues to be almost too complex to follow without taking notes. Who is on whose side, which puppeteers are actually pulling the strings, and why do people seem to switch allegiances at the flick of a switch? It's all very staggering when you try to follow along with anything resembling logic but I guess at least one of the lunar-based scientists is right when it comes to their theories on the psyche of long-term habitants. And this time they can't even blame the presence of some top-notch dank weed. Though that one reactivated mech does make me wonder… oops, I've said too much.
Dots were connected into the shapes of globalists, Satanists, Chinese stealth operations, and aliens.
This is outstanding reading for any fans of quality, high-end science fiction or folks that enjoy a good political / mystery thriller. Travelling around the globe, meetings in top-secret bunkers, high stakes escapes and more... trust me, you'll find it all in here and it's only made better by the excellent execution by the Bruno and Savage combo. As I wrote at the end of my carefully worded review of the last book (recap: book good, me read, much fun) I can't wait to start the next chapter with ALL my previous plans being thrown out the airlock to make time to enjoy available! -
A total nailbiter. I swear Nick has lives of a cat. And no one is is trustworthy or even a so called friend. They're no friends in space. This book is full of drama and vengeance and revenge.
