The premise is amazing

The premise is amazing. I just think about a ship knocking around in space, bouncing against asteroids, going along for over 1000 years, like a piece of space trash and the whole time all these human beings are inside in stasis waiting to find a planet with a moon. The author gives us a great sense of time and place. Strong, fleshed out characters and the author's knowledge of science and humanity is what makes it all so real. So well written. Hurricane Moon is a great book.

Fast-paced action lends an outstanding, gripping drama to this intense story.

In the late 21st century an Earth affected by a series of crises launches a starship to find a new world - a ship containing a scientist, an astronaut, and a molecular biologist, each with his own agenda for discovery. But the starship's programming discovers not one but two worlds locked around each other - and a millennium of suspended animation takes its toll which requires an untrustworthy maverick to help save humanity in the face of an impossible romance and mystery. Fast-paced action lends an outstanding, gripping drama to this intense story.

Hurricane Moon - Best SciFi

Hurricane Moon tops the list as one of the best SciFi I've read in years. Unlike other stories that deal with terraforming planets, Latner makes her story believable. The message is that it doesn't matter how thorough scientists try to be, there will always be surprises and those surprises can be deadly. Latner has created a cast of characters that the reader will love. Characters with realistic emotions - like passion and desire, who long to create an earth-like planet and yet realize that in doing so, they're harming Planet Green in the process. Latner's exceptional descriptions of new worlds also reminds the reader of how foreign and difficult a new environment might be for humans - both physically and mentally. Latner is an gifted writer - one who will reach the stars in Science Fiction. She's off to a great start with Hurricane Moon and I expect more great books from her in the future. Diana L. Driver

Interstellar Adventure

Planet Earth is ridden with religious wars, overpopulation, and disease, its end near. From Earth the starship Aeon hurtles toward a distant planet, its mission to establish a new civilization there. Crewed by Dr. Catharin Gault and other experts, Aeon finds the destination world unsuitable for colonization. The ship must set a new course, toward an unknown star in the Milky Way. It's due to arrive a millennia after leaving Earth. Will the crew and the ten thousand colonists aboard Aeon survive cyrostasis, a cold suspended animation, without suffering stasis-induced DNA changes? Some colonists have already perished in stasis. Finally, the ship reaches its new destination, Planet Green, where constant hurricanes swirl around its ocean moon. Catastrophe beckons. Award-winning science fiction writer and aviator Alexis Glynn Latner blends ethics, mystery, and human interest in this highly entertaining story of interstellar adventure.

Great read!

Hurricane Moon is a thinking person's sci-fi read. The characters are complex, multi-dimensional people. They make you think. Their universe is interesting and challenging. You won't stub your mental toe on the science, either. For once, I didn't have to lock my inner engineer in the closet to enjoy a sci-fi book with well-developed characters and meaning. Ms. Latner combines real science and real people in an imaginative future adventure very, very well. You can read and enjoy it as a space adventure novel, but it's much more than that.
