Not being a doctor, it would be hard to know what it would be like to lose 2 patients under these abnormal circumstances. Then to be sued for what appears to be a blown diagnosis. Doc McClure has the dubious task of trying to prove her innocence. Being threatened the way she was would be nerve racking for anyone who is in her position. I thought the book was too slow. Even the ending wasn't that good.

I like mysteries that have a lot of twist an turns, and unfortunately, this book didn't have it. I have read other books from Alton Gansky that I have enjoyed; this is not one of his best.

Not many books in the Lurid Christian Murder category. This one has well-fleshed-out characters, believable dialog, a murderous car chase, genetically altered toxins, and a surprisingly involved and well-prepared plot. I'm hooked on this series. MORE. One thing... why doesn't the publisher put the captivatingly ghastly cover on Amazon?

Marcus Stiller has stepped into the global spotlight. During a routine observation, the astronomer finds a dark red blemish on the lundar surface, and it's growing. Soon, Stiller and his 'Stiller Enigma' are the most popular topic on the planet - stirring up both political and religious debate.
Even more disturbing than the 'Stiller Enigma' is what I call the 'Gansky Enigma'. That is, how can an accomplished author actually publish something like this? Far too much time is spent on meaningless conversation and monologue. Overabundant detail is dedicated to a plot that goes absolutely nowhere. As the plot (what there is of one) reaches its' ridiculous 'conclusion' in the EPILOGUE, one can't help but wonder if this book did in 20 chapters what could have been done in 3.
If you're new to Gansky, do NOT read this book! He is (usually) an incredible writer. Go read one of his others.
If you're a Gansky fan...you MIGHT be able to stomach this book.
I wouldn't suggest it though...I suffered for you.

I would recommend this book, however I must say that I was a bit dissappointed. 'Dark Moon' was an enjoyable read, however after reading the awesome book 'The Prodigy' I was expecting this book to be just as good. In many ways that was a mistake on my part. Often times we are dissapointed when we are expecting the same quality product every time.

That being said 'Dark Moon' is a story that kept me interested throughout most of the book, however there were a few unanswered questions. The resolution was not as satifying as I wanted. I was quite interested in the story's main characters, however as the book went on there seemed to be too many other lesser characters and subplots introduced that took away from what should have been the main focus of the story. Perhaps Gansky should have made the book longer so that all of the themes and issues of science, faith and family could have explored more fully. It seemed as if most of the book was spent setting up the big climax that never really seemed to happen.

I do not want to reveal to much of the book's plot. I will say that despite some of Gansky's failings with this book, I still enjoyed it. He has created characters that I was able to identify with and care about. That in many ways is so much important than the plot of a book. I could have read more and this is not a short book at 352 pages. I would not have minded if it were 500 or more pages. Gansky is a skilled writer who I will continue to read in the future.
