amazing!
3. April 2012
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I don't usually read a lot of science fiction. Something abut this book caught my eye though and I'm so glad I decided to read it. The subject of space travel and living on the moon has always fascinated me so I devoured this book very quickly. The characters in the story are so real you can almost hear their voices in your head. I fell in love with Crater almost immediately. He has a little "sidekick" called a gillie that I was just absolutely bewitched by and the interaction between Crater and the gillie make for some really cute dialog in the book. The emotions of fear, love, jealousy and friendship are entwined perfectly with some great suspense and adventure. This was a wonderful futuristic coming of age story that I would recommend for anyone of any age. I think it has a little bit of something that everyone can enjoy. I will definitely be searching out Homer Hickam's other books.

'Crater' Does For Boy Space Settlers What 'Harry Potter' Does for Boy Wizards
17. Mai 2012
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Amazon Vine™ Rezension
(Was ist das?)
"Crater," the first in a young adult science fiction series by Homer Hickam, is a coming of age story of one Crater Trueblood, an orphan and helium 3 miner living at lunar mining colony over a century hence.
The Moon where Crater lives has become a human frontier, dangerous as much for some of the people (and other beings) who live there as for its hostile environment. The various lunar colonies primarily live by extracting helium 3, an isotope not found in nature on Earth, and exporting it to the mother planet as a fuel for fusion reactors.
In a way Crater's story is as familiar as that of Harry Potter, albeit in a different milieu. He is young, vulnerable, awkward, but with a destiny that neither he nor the people around him fully understand. There is also an annoying best friend, a pretty (and very tough) girl, and a mysterious father-figure benevolent dictator of the mining colony known to most as "the Colonel."
Crater is taken from his comfortable life as a helium 3 miner to undertake a special mission for the Colonel, who has noted qualities in the boy that might allow him to succeed where others have failed. All he has to do is to travel with a helium 3 convoy to the capital city of the moon, take a space elevator to a cycler space ship, and retrieve a certain package to bring back to the Colonel.
The package, while it will serve as a catalyst to changing things on the moon, is not as important compared to what Crater experiences in his quest to retrieve it. Like many other quests, the journey is more important for Crater than the destination. Along the way he will find out what he is made of, what his origins are, and what his purpose is.
Homer Hickam's 22nd century Moon is a fully realized world, with enough technology and future society to intrigue the futurist in any science fiction fan. Not since Robert Heinlein was alive and writing juveniles has there been the like.
"Crater" is the first of a trilogy. It is hoped that someone can see the movie potential of a boy space settler as has been realized for a boy wizard and a boy vampire. Highly recommended.

Crater - Not just for sci fi fans
30. April 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Despite the fact that I'm a space nerd, I don't usually pick up anything from the sci fi genre. I am so glad I downloaded this one, because Crater was a great read. It had just the right amount of action, and the hero of the novel was easy to love. What I really enjoyed was the smattering of space science and history that was thrown into the storyline. I actually learned quite a few new facts. This is one of those books that you pick up and find yourself still reading at two in the morning.
