CisLuna: Volume 2 (The Galactican Series) - Tapa blanda

In Book II of the Galactican Series, SpaceCorp has established a cislunar colony at the Earth Moon Lagrange Point #1, 55,000 km from the surface of the Moon towards Earth. It consists of twelve Einstein-class space stations orbiting the Lagrange Point in a 60,000-km diameter Lissajous orbit. Each of these space stations carries a crew of around 300 officers, astronauts, and able spacemen, plus a contingent of 700 to 1000 scientists and engineers. CisLuna was a happy place, until a pretty young flight surgeon is discovered nude and hanging by her feet from the ceiling of her cabin. This being CisLuna’s first major crime, Detective Sergeant Roy Stone is immediately dispatched from Vandenberg up to CisLuna to put things right. The SSS Wm Borucki on the cover, beautifully rendered by master space artist Douglas Shrock, is named for the Principal Investigator of the Kepler Mission renowned for discovering over 2000 exoplanets.

Ejner Fulsang has been a tech writer for NASA and SETI for the last ten years. His specialty is helping scientists write proposals for space missions. It’s been quite an education, covering topics like spacecraft, instruments, mission design, launch vehicles, hazards of space. He is particularly intrigued by the possibility of microbial life on other planets and moons, especially the notion of a Second Genesis where life comes from chemical, not biological origins.
