Luna Parabella — William Alan Rieser

Luna Parabella is a collection of related fables concerning the not-too-distant future colonization of the moon. Key to the success of interplanetary civilization are the mysterious Eyad who task a lone youth with its responsibility. Thrills and chills abound, unpredictable, often inexplicable and sometimes startling, but they never fail to entertain. Everything is here, from the depths of clandestine subterfuge to the majesty of scintillating visions as human beings conquer more than a tiny fragment of space. If there is one thing that this novel portrays most effectively, it is that hope, being eternal, always achieves fulfillment.
