Wayne Scott Harral’s interest in astronauts, space travel, and NASA led to thoughts about humans’ possibility on the moon. When a close friend of his wrote a book that seemingly lacked detail, Scott wished that his author-friend would describe the beauty of Tuscany, Italy accurately and in detail. It made him entertain the possibility of finally writing his own novel, one that would not fall short on detail and descriptions. The novel would be entitled Moon Luck, and it would catapult Wayne Scott Harral as one of the relevant space sci-fi authors of today.

First Space Sci-Fi Book

Last year, Wayne Scott Harral published his debut novel, Moon Luck. A space sci-fi murder and mystery thriller, Moon Luck, features the story of 30 astronauts living on the Moon for extended periods. They are a population consisting of several astronaut scientists and astronaut-explorers currently conducting and examining various possibilities on the moon, such as growing plants, finding minerals, and doing other experiments. These researches caused the inhabitants to animosities as well as close relationships during their time on the Moon. The close relationship and camaraderie among the taikonauts are very evident. 

However, the whole population of the moon is suddenly shaken after the death of one of its inhabitants. One of the base’s senior members died in an accident. Later, it was discovered to be a lie. The investigation points out to a yet unidentified perpetrator. In a distant future where moon travel and long expeditions are already possible, Wayne Scott Harral’s Moon Luck presents many exciting realities. In his book, Harral details how the murder investigation is conducted from Earth and on the Moon. 

The book does not end with the discovery of the perpetrator. Moon Luck puts forward new questions based on these events, such as how do you get that person back to Earth? What do you do with a murdered body on the Moon?
