Product Description

When Crater captures an enemy Crowhopper, a genetically-manipulated being, he refuses to kill "it". "It" is genetically more human than not and she calls herself Crescent. Crater takes her to Moontown as a prisoner of war but treats her kindly, unlike all of the other residents who are cruel.
When Crescent is imprisoned for a murder she didn't commit, Crater comes to her aid and the two become fugitives, escaping into the vast expanse of hostile terrain. Crater learns that it might be that the cause worth fighting for is right by his side.

Publisher's Description

She was born to kill, born to die.

Crescent is a crowhopper—a genetically modified mercenary programmed for ruthless warfare. When she’s taken prisoner by Crater Trueblood instead of being killed in battle, she thinks it’s a disaster.

Crater is weary of war. He’s a miner, not a soldier. He’d rather be mining Helium-3 than battling the infernal crowhoppers. But after he captures Crescent and brings her to Moontown, he’s surprised how much he enjoys her company. When she’s falsely accused of murder, he becomes an outlaw to help her escape.

The unlikely pair escapes into the "big suck" and wind up trekking with a caravan of mining pioneers toward a lunar ghost town called Endless Dust. To survive, they must do more than navigate the beautiful, desolate moonscape and battle a persistent band of crowhoppers sent to capture or kill them. They must decide what—and who—is truly worth fighting for.

"Expertly blending space opera and hard sci-fi, romance, and even mystery . . . this is fast-paced, packed with intriguing ideas . . ." —Peter Gutierrez, Booklist Review

"Classic Golden Age science fiction high-adventure. It brought back memories of reading Asimov . . . that same sense of wonder. I absolutely loved it." —Michael Scott, New York Times Best-selling Author, The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel series
