Resumen del Editor

A lowly construction worker on the moon is Earth’s only chance....

Nick Morrison always wanted to be an astronaut. When a start-up company recruits him to build a lunar launch system at the moon’s south pole, Nick gladly leaves behind his troubled life on Earth—but Nick doesn’t know that the company is in financial and legal trouble.

Deprived of support from Earth, the team on the moon must figure out how to survive on their own. Worse yet, there’s another base at the lunar south pole, run by a ruthless contractor who has big plans for the moon...and for Earth.

Nick’s team just so happen to be in the way.

Join them in their mission to stop the conquest of the Moon and Earth in this new science-based thriller from Nebula Award-nominated author Rhett C. Bruno and NYT best-selling author Felix R. Savage. It’s perfect for fans of The Martian, Artemis, and For All Mankind.

About the Creator

Rhett C. Bruno is the USA Today and Audible #1 bestselling co-author of Dead Acre, The Luna Missile Crisis, and The Buried Goddess Saga series, and author of the Children of Titan series, among other works. He was nominated for a Nebula award for his short story "Interview for the End of the World." Rhett currently serves as the CEO of Aethon Books and is a full-time author/publisher living in Delaware with his family.

About the Creator

Felix was born too late to be a knight in armor and too early to be a space colonist. He makes up for it by writing action-packed science fiction epics that have sold over 130,000 copies worldwide and become USA Today bestsellers. Restlessly driven to explore, he was born in the Deep South, grew up in the UK, and now lives in Japan with his wonderful wife, two beautiful daughters, and their feline overlords. His books cover the spectrum of science fiction from hard sci-fi to through space opera to comedic science fiction, but all deliver his trademark blend of rich characterization, gripping plots, and unexpected twists. Until the day when we can vacation on Mars, this is as good as it gets!

Lots of Climate BS and the story bounces around

Book would be better in the free section of Audible.

The story is ok ish but it really bounces around - they have an insurmountable problem then poof they're past the problem.

Not exactly a waste of time but likely won't get any more from the series.

Perfect fun sci-fi book!

Excellent pacing, solid depth, believable science and just enough tension/emotional range for a very fun read from start to finish!

Creative premise

I enjoyed the premise of the story and Nick's character development. The gradually evolving corporate/government intrigue was thought provoking. More romantic friction regarding main characters would've been interesting. I listened to this book for some escapism and it provided the desirable distraction!

fun

great idea, well executed, narration was excellent. I love space and conspiracies so this was right up my alley. I've seen past the anthroprogenic climate change exageration so that part was a bit annoying, but it fits the story well.
Reduce, reuse, recycle, and develop actual clean energy, could not agree more. humans are solely responsible for an event that has happened uncountable times before we existed and will again after we are gone? nope. Have to think bigger, we aren't that impressive. No amount of taxes nor restrictions will fix the climate. But we could work together to prepare for the inevitable changes, and this book does allude to that even if it comes at it from a different direction. Plus, it's a fun read!

I was mesmerized by Nick's tale!

Yeah I loved the MC, Nick. I was quickly mesmerized by his tale, in this Sci-fi Thriller. I expected no less from the authors and the book really dished it out. Of course it didn't hurt that the action never stopped. Oh how I do love action-driven storylines. The Eighth Continent was a tight well written story about a private company's attempt at colonizing the moon for humanity sake and the governments attempts to thwrat that endeavor.
I haven't listened to many Scott Aiello narratives, but as with the others I've listened to, I found it to be excellent!
So yeah, if you Sci-fi like Rhett C Bruno's Luna Missile Crises, or Felix R Savage's Freefall, or even mystery thrillers, then this book is for you!

Very creative

Good story. Does have an environmental message to it but it is not preachy about it.

Great new find

I was hesitant getting into this book because I’ve only recently started venturing out into finding books that didn’t have a ton of reviews yet and it didn’t disappoint. It’s kinda like Artemis or the Martian meets the characters from the movie Armageddon (not the plot, just the characters). It was a fresh new take on the astronauts being stranded theme!
