Crescent Earth (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781636764993)

Frankie Mason is dead.

In Ilia Epifanov's sci-fi mystery Crescent Earth, the first intentional murder committed by a sentient android creates shock waves that threaten to change how androids are perceived. Rene Robertson is sentenced to labor on a moon base for the rest of time. Most of the human race is satisfied that justice has been properly dealt.

Everyone except James Mason, Frankie's only son. And now Tom, James' companion, is left with a dilemma. The trauma of witnessing the murder first-hand has left a permanent scar on them both. James has no way to move on from the terrifying memory...

Until they are offered exciting positions on the moon base, creating a career opportunity that will put Tom on the fast track. And even though James is rich and doesn't need a job, he suspiciously agrees to go.

As Tom tries to put their lives back to normal, being in the same location as Frankie's murderer sets in motion a chain of events as inevitable as they are horrible. But James must have his answers, whatever the cost.
