Lunacom by Rich Wyatt is a fast-paced, science-fiction action that will captivate you from the start. The story quickly debriefs the reader on where everything begins and how the world has become very different in 2062, where the United States, China, and Russia all play significant roles in occupying various parts of space. Mining operations are a primary mission, and while artificial intelligence has advanced significantly, playing a pivotal role in everyday life, various challenges arise from this technology.

While many branches and outposts were created throughout the 2020s and 2030s, the U.S. military established Lunacom, or Lunar Command, to better manage many facets of the operations. As a streamlined approach and cooperative teams of scientists and operating forces appear to be moving positively, a mysterious force suddenly places them and everyone on Earth at risk. When communication is instantly cut off from military personnel, and their ability to send messages to Earth is thwarted, they must face an unknown threat and fight for their lives.

I really enjoyed reading this story, as Wyatt does an incredible job of reeling in the reader from the very start with a clear, visual description of the future world and a quick outline of how we got there. It’s also a cautionary tale, in a way, that gives readers a chance to ponder the use of technology, space exploration, and mining, among other developments, as a means to advance society. Will this advancement into the unknown improve people’s lives on Earth and in space, or set us back when faced with frightening and unknown forces beyond our control?

Lunacom by Rich Wyatt is a spectacular adventure that will keep you turning one page after another from start to finish! I especially like how the author’s past experience with the military and related knowledge infuses a sense of reality into this story, which is ideal for anyone interested in sci-fi action and futuristic/military-themed tales. I hope to read more of Wyatt’s work!
