Red Moon

About the Book

Lance Longfall has everything going for him: brains, money, good looks and a promising future as a scientist. One fateful day in 1983, he meets Miranda Evans who will forever change his life. Fate, however, usually has a plan; even when it is tragic.

With the help of Stephen Bropalski, his best friend, Lance will stop at nothing to bring Miranda back, even if it destroys everyone around him. To do this, Stephen and Lance will have to perform two of the greatest scientific breakthroughs of all time—but no one must know about it.

As they race towards the future, beating time in the process, to complete their mission, someone from their past relentlessly pursues them which could hinder their success. Lance is obsessed. His only obstacles are inescapable demons from his past and the secret of the mysterious Red Moon.
