Space begins to feel like a safer place than Earth when a shooting at Paul Connor’s son’s school; one adjacent to his daughter’s, rattles Paul’s nerves. It seems even the alien inhabitants of the moon are distressed by the violence on Earth and seek Paul’s help to find a solution. Could man’s first contact with an alien race be a goodwill mission to find peace on Earth, or do the aliens have something else in mind? Not only does Paul have to get his superiors and colleagues to trust and believe him, he must figure out if they can trust the Entity and their intentions.
Right from the start the readers are connected to Paul Connors through his daughter and the bond. Readers see the emotional turmoil beginning to boil within Paul at not being able to be there for his children and worrying about their safety. The beginning sets the stage and reflects on humanity’s perchance for violence. Tom Skore masterfully takes raw human emotions and weaves with galactic mystery and intrigue. This fast pace thrilling tale will have readers gripping the edges of their books. As readers progress through the book, they realize this is more than just politics, more than the belief in extraterrestrial life, but rather something more primal. The desire, and the need to protect others. There is a poetic quality to Skore’s writing that draws you into the story and refuses to let go. Readers are left satisfied with their reading experience of Tranquility Moon and are left wanting more from Tom Skore.
This is a book that raises the question of could the affairs of Earth matter to interstellar lifeforms, or would they use mankind’s violence and greed as a source to fuel their own desires and greed? Tom Skore’s novel goes beyond that of a simple science fiction novel; it poses questions about whether or not our greatest advances are those in technology. Or are the greatest advances for our society revolving around emotion, compassion, and empathy? Even if science fiction is not a typical genre some readers would gravitate towards, this is one that surpasses all expectations. This book is deserving of notable recognition. It will have you questioning if there is life beyond our world, or if peace on Earth and beyond is possible? In this gripping sci-fi thriller, Tom Skore explores the limits of control, the resilience of human nature, and the dangerous illusion of perfection.
