New Release -- THE UNBORN GALAXY BOOK 2-THE BATTLE OF BROKEN MOON by Michael E. Gonzales -- Giveaway!

When a lunar quake sets off partial destruction of the Moon and an international laboratory, all lives on Earth are immediately at stake.

A group of veteran soldiers have volunteered for the Lunar Civil Defense Detachment (LCDD) on the Moon’s Joint International Lunar Laboratory (JILL), but during training, a terrible accident changes all their lives in ways they couldn’t imagine.

Though the call for help has been dispatched and part of JILL secured for the treatment of the injured, a saboteur seizes the moment to try to finish the destruction the quake has caused. Terrorists, a familiar enemy on Earth, have also intercepted the call for help and invade JILL, seeing this as their opportunity to take over both fronts—Earth and the Moon.

With the war in Oceania now contaminating the Moon, will the complete destruction of JILL—and Earth itself—be far behind? How can a handful of soldiers hold off the hostile forces in this unforgiving realm that seek to destroy civilization?

EXCERPT:

     "That is such Bravo Sierra," I said, grinning broadly.

     "It sells better than the truth," she responded, somewhat subdued. "My family was from New York. I joined up as soon as I was old enough."

     "Revenge, then?"

     "That, and patriotism."

     "Really?"

     She looked at me a moment. "Yeah, really." There was some degree of anger in her voice. "I can trace my family's history all the way back through World War One."

     "So because you had relatives in the military going back to the Stone Age you think you—"

     "Shut up, Matt. I want you to understand something. I am truly a patriot. My grandfather died in the War for the Constitution during the defense of Helena, Montana. That kind of patriotism still runs strong in my family. The quickest way in the world to piss me off is to talk shit about being a patriot or this country. Got it?"

     "Yeah, Susan, I got it," I replied calmly. "Now, I want you to understand something. I may be an adrenaline junkie, but I've not watched my friends die, and killed people for the thrill. I love my country, too, and I lost people on the side of freedom in the War for the Constitution as well. Anyone who's in this fight for reasons other than to defend the US is in it for the wrong reason, and I don't want to share a foxhole with 'em. If I said anything to make you think I felt otherwise, it was certainly not my intention."

     "Okay, Matt. We've cleared that up. I just want to ensure any man I might look at twice is using the same ammo I am."

     "Wait, what?"

     She stood up and turned to look at me over her shoulder. "Keep your temper, Matt. I want to see you on the Moon," and she started to walk away. For the first time, I noticed her as she walked. Oh, I knew she was exaggerating that walk, but I watched, anyway.

     "Great!" I shouted after her. "Just how am I to concentrate on my studies now?"
