It is lonely and isolated work, but it is also perfect for Cali Washington, who has signed on to become a Caretaker in order to start a new life and escape the troubles from her old one. Enter the Caretakers, men who women who live onsite in Luna City, the moon’s largest operations center, where they perform tasks such as grave digging and overseeing the cemeteries. The solution? Make the moon a graveyard, where Earth’s wealthiest citizens can launch the remains of their deceased loved ones to rest in peace for eternity looking down on us from the brightest object in the night sky.īut such an enormous undertaking also requires a lot of manpower to maintain. The year is 2243 and overcrowding and environmental degradation on earth has forced humankind to figure out a new way to deal with their dead. As you can probably figure out from the book’s description, this is a zombie story on the moon. The premise also comes across as less unique and more commercial, like something I might come across in a B movie on the Syfy channel-as in fun, but superficial. That’s not to say Dead Moon was a bad book, but it does feel less well put together compared to Clines’ previous Threshold novels, with a more slapdash plot and characters that aren’t as developed. As such, I wasn’t too surprised to discover that this new book, Dead Moon, would take place in the future on the moon, though I was a little taken aback by the very different tone, style, and overall quality. While all these stories appear to take place in the same world, any connections between them are immaterial to their individual plots so each one can be read as a standalone. I’ve really enjoyed Peter Clines’ books in the Threshold series so far ( 14 and The Fold) which was why I was excited when I found out that he would be releasing a third book as an audio exclusive with Audible.
