Synopsis
They said Conn wasn’t qualified for astronaut training. To prove herself, all she’ll have to do is outwit alien races, escape from prison, run a huge business, survive assassination attempts, engineer impossible rescues — and walk on the moon. Never tell Conn there’s something she can't do.
My Review
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
4 Platypires for Girl On The Moon by Jack McDonald Burnett
I nominated this book from Kindle Scout on Amazon and I was pretty happy that it got selected. This is the second book I've read from that program and have been pleasantly surprised how much I liked them.
The cover and the synopsis is was intrigued to actually getting around to reading this book. I think I'm becoming a fan of space exploration books about first contact with another alien race and this book hit the mark.
This book reminds of The Martian, the movie Gravity and other sci movie yet still remain unique in its own right. I liked the story and I really couldn't put it down. The author had a way in captivating his readers with the next plot twist. There was definitely a lot of action "oh shit" moments.
My biggest complaint was that at times the story did drag especially in the beginning. Personally, I didn't need to know all about Conn's school. I got it. She's very smart and is really a driven person. The pacing could have been better but it wasn't horrible. I did read the book pretty quickly.
Overall, I really liked "The Girl On The Moon" and would recommend it to other sci-fi fans. Can't wait to read more from the author.
