The Moons of Barsk

A clairvoyant teenager embarks on a dangerous quest for answers in this weirdly wonderful sequel to Barsk: The Elephants’ Graveyard.

Pizlo, the lonely young outcast and physically-challenged Fant, is now a teenager. He still believes he hears voices from the planet’s moons, imparting secret knowledge to him alone. And so embarks on a dangerous voyage to learn the truth behind the messages. His quest will catapult him offworld for second time in his short life, and reveal things the galaxy isn’t yet ready to know.

Elsewhere, Barsk’s Senator Jorl, who can speak with the dead, navigates galactic politics as Barsk’s unwelcome representative, and digs even deeper into the past than ever before to discover new truths of his own.

“The Moons of Barsk accomplishes what science fiction does at its best. It uses invented technology to push ideas beyond the limitations of the everyday.” —New York Journal of Books

“I enjoyed The Moons of Barsk even more than the first book and look forward to what’s coming next.” —BookLoons Reviews
