Luna

The story of man's place in cislunar space continues with the Moon settlements of the Lunar Series.

LUNAR SERIES

The money people had only wanted to use AI and robots on the Moon; people were too expensive.

But experience might not agree.

Moon Hab: A Short Story

Circling the Moon, alone, in a space station was easy.

It wasn't until I over-nighted (remember, two weeks of darkness) that things got hard, and deadly.

Moon 3D: A Novelette

After more than fifty years man was back on the Moon.

But this time he was determined to stay.

And that meant building habitats with the AI-powered latest technology, such as 3D printers.

But while those who were directly involved might show dedication and courage to the job, those remaining on Earth were still more interested in money and reputation.

And that could lead to failure and even death for those on the Moon.

Moon Miner: A Short Story

You would think that mining on the Moon would be a dream job.

Great location, pays well, all expenses paid.

Problem was that people on the Moon were the same as on the Earth.

And that could make just doing your job dangerous.

Moon Town: A Novelette

Humans or AI-powered robots?

That seemed to have become the eternal question in the development of the Moon.

But as with all eternal questions, the practical answer might be, can they complement each other?

Moon Power: A Novelette

Multiplying settlements required more, reliable power.

Two solar power farms located on either side of the string of Mare Frigoris settlements separated by a little over one-hundred-eighty degrees longitude could supply it.

An expedition to prepare one of the areas for development ran into the unexpected.

The AI brought along had its own idea.

Moon Rail: A Short Story

Building a two-thousand-mile rail system to connect the Mare Frigoris settlements was an audacious undertaking.

But building the first few miles could be the worse in lost lives.

Moon Nuke: A Novelette

A steady supply of power was needed if the settlements on the Moon in Mare Frigoris were to keep growing.

But putting a nuclear reactor on the Moon was the greatest building project so far undertaken.

It would take someone with more than building experience, it would take someone with courage.

Especially to face off against the experts when they got it wrong.

Moon Plex: A Novella

Maddie Post was a good reporter who was approaching the end of a long, admirable, journalistic career.

Her last story was to be an expose on the commercial settlements built in Mare Frigoris.

She knew it would be her last story, but she didn't know it might take her last breath.
