I have read other books by Rhett Bruno and enjoyed them, but this title less so. I think it is perhaps that his co-author has introduced some morally ambiguous characters for whom it is difficult to find a connection.

Guess you thought the globe only featured 7 continents. Well, Earth does: but there's a Moon--the Eighth Continent. Open, with sufficiently improved technology and Science, to exploration, discovery, resource mining, potential future colonization--and of course, greed, cupidity, waste, danger, wars, destruction. You know: like Earth.

THE EIGHTH CONTINENT (Book 1 of THE EIGHTH CONTINENT TRILOGY), is set a few decades in the future: Moon resource use is still in its early years, with vast room for advancement of technology and Science. A consortium of nations has a base on the Moon and both Science and technology undertakings are carried on. A private company in Florida, Five Stones, intends to build a "Cruder Is Better" device to transport resources from the Moon into spaceships in Low Earth Orbit. The missions are plagued from the start, including conspiracies, sociopaths, secret government agency interference, and geniuses who've fallen over the line into madness. Add to that the unique dangers of both Space travel and of existence on the Moon, in a vacuum, in alternating light periods [lunation] and darkness.

THE EIGHT CONTINENT is fast-paced, adventurous, Science Fiction, rich with breathtaking Suspense and Danger [both on the Moon and on the Earth, as well as in transit]. I'm eagerly awaiting Books 2 and 3.

Review posted previously on goodreads

I don't think I've read an survival thriller before so was intrigued by that and ofc that it was set in space. It was very easy getting invested in and I enjoyed it. Definitely want to read more survival Thrillers after this.
