This seems like an interesting book. I love sci-fi themed books but when it comes to space and astronauts I lose my interest. Nevertheless, I'm glad to see this book is easy to read and enjoyable. Thank you for your informative review.

Great review. The title of this novel is cool. I am really drawn to the science fiction and suspense aspects of this book. I think it would be fun discovering how a secret mission to the moon gets uncovered. Thank you for sharing.

The Devil's Astronaut by Noah Bond is a #SciFi novel that unravels a 10-decade top secret moon project. To prove his hypothesis, Professor Glen set out a mission with an astronaut, Rachel MacPherson, assisted with a group of Russian scientists. No profanity. No foul language. No explicit sex. Perfect for the general crowd!

Thanks for the great review!

Sounds like a fiction/sci-fi/suspense novel. I like the idea of investigating a secret moon base by the daughter of someone involved in a conspiracy to keep it quiet.. Humor always makes a book interesting. I'm glad to hear there are humorous people and moments included. Overall, The Devil's Astronaut sounds like a fun read. Thank you for your thorough review.

Post by bellaterrabooks »

The Apollo program was a pivotal time in our world’s history. The competition to the race to the Moon was an extraordinary juxtaposition between the superpowers of the United States’ and Russian space programs. Given that the author is using this as a backdrop for the story that centers on the concept that perhaps there was a secret moon project, I could surmise this work of fiction could be where conspiracy theories are born. In addition, the element of intrigue and cover-ups in the form of “the future of mankind” being in mortal peril creates a post-apocalyptic scenario. Based on this review and the sample, the book has a complex, dimensional plotline that is certain to make for an excellent read.

This book about a secret underneath our Nasa space missions sounds awesome. I especially liked the banter between Glen and Rachel.

I started reading the sample of the book but I had a hard time reading it. The book seems like it’s going to have a lot of murder within the story and the scenes are very descriptive. I don’t think this is a book for me.

This blend of fiction and science fiction sounds interesting. I love that there are humorous interactions between the characters and that the twists and turns keep coming until the surprise ending.

Based on the sample, I first thought that the storyline seems to be a bit slow and the flow appears to be fragmented. I did notice that the tempo and the speed picked up just before my sampling was through. Moreover, I was able to come up with initial assumptions about what the rest of the book and its ending would come to be. However, if the fictional work is as complex and unpredictable as you've stated it to be, then there's ample reason to really check it out and read more indeed. I wonder how much of the work is based on factual information. With all the mishaps and tragedies that appeared to have happened to those who thought they were part of something good for humanity, I'm not so sure that such would be ample enough to motivate our kids to go for what's right and best. I hope truth, fairness, justice, and the common good would eventually prevail in the story and in real life.

Thank you for your compelling review.

The plot sounds good and the idea of a top secret organization sounds very different.

Yes, I love that this seems like a book I will enjoy and there are no explicit sex scenes or things of that nature, despite containing romance. I’m a bit confused at why the author wrote this book was for adults in the blurb. Oh well. So far, the characters seem lively and the kind of people I would like to follow for this crazy adventure.

A secret space project on the moon and a good ensemble of characters is already a good start. I’m usually very picky when it comes to sci-fi, I might give this a try. Congrats on BOTD!

I'm normally not into books about space or books of a scientific nature, but this review has peaked my interest. The mystery of a possible secret space station and a suspicious death is right up my alley. Thank you for a great review!
