Aldrin Station - Rise of Luna

by Charles Lee Lesher

Overview

Aldrin Station is a collection of short stories that mark some of the events that lead to the Rise of the Republic of Luna and the central role the city plays in the future of mankind. It begins in the hazy dawn of humanity, tens of thousands of years ago, but quickly leaps forward to the near future.

The Republic of Luna is the ongoing series about the trials and tribulations of humanities first extraterrestrial nation. Evolution’s Child - Earthman (October 2092) begins the tale of two worlds colliding in all out war. Evolution’s Child - Lunarian (November 2092) continues the tale of humanities First Lunarian War. Revelation’s Child (December 2092) brings the First Lunarian War to a head. Science of the Republic is a compilation of articles and tables explaining key elements of Lunarian technology. Shadow on the Moon combines Evolution’s Child - Earthman, Evolution’s Child - Lunarian, Revelation’s Child, and Science of the Republic of the Republic of Luna series into one 500-page Anniversary Print Edition.

April 1, 2060 is the Republic of Luna’s Independence Day. Thirty-two years later, the Earth’s ancient religious and political quagmires threaten to pull apart everything that man has built. In a society with nothing more militant than a police force, the Republic must defend itself from the forces of ruthless domination. The Republic of Luna saga is a mirror of today’s problems transplanted to an airless world where all life is sacred and every resource precious. A world created by pioneers whose only religion is the humane treatment of one another in their common struggle to survive the ultimate hostile environment, space. The heroes that conquered the moon must now defend it. Thankfully, they have a few tricks up their sleeve.

About the Author

Let me tell you just a little about myself. I am the product of a broken family. My folks were divorced before I was three back when divorce was unheard of. Guess they just couldn't take my incessant howling. No matter. They both loved me and that was all I really cared about at that age. I grew up bouncing between Colorado and Southern California and loving every minute of it. By the time I started high school, I had visited every state west of the Mississippi.

Speaking of high school, mine was in a small town on the Mojave Desert. Counting the occasional tourist, Boron topped out at about 5000 souls, but it wasn't boring. The main part of the town is nestled at the feet of a high-desert volcano-looking mountain with a rocket engine test facility built into its summit. Edwards Air Force Base is just on the other side of it from Boron. You could always tell who was new in town; they flinched every time a sonic boom rattled the windows. The mountain we simply called the Rocket Site and ignored the loud noises. They tested the Saturn 5 engines at the Rocket Site, the ones that took our boys to the moon. Once in a while they would fire them up at night! What a sight! What a noise! Those babies would shake the world in a way impossible to describe. It's something that must be felt and then you will never forget it.

A couple decades ago I was lucky enough to marry the most wonderful woman in the world. We have three kids and five grand-kids with a sixth on the way. I run a small publishing company, Writers Cramp Publishing, and write under my full name, Charles Lee Lesher. My debut novel, Evolution's Child, was selected as 2007's Best of the Moon Fiction by the Lunar Library. You can still buy it, but now it is part of the Republic of Luna series. Evolution's Child has morphed into two Kindle novels, Evolution's Child - Earthman and Evolution's Child - Lunarian. I know, its weird but what can I say. The creative process is not always as neat as we would like. The third book, Revelation's Child, makes this a trilogy. I am very proud of the Kindle versions. Love eBooks on my Fire! (Check out my website at: http://www.charleslesher.com for more info on RoL) You can also buy all three novels in one big bathroom reader, Shadow on the Moon is 500 pages of science fiction excitement!

My latest book is a nonfiction titled Out of the Cradle on sale as a conventional hardcover and a gorgeous full-color eBook. (http://www.outofthecradle.org)
