Breathe Moon Air: Part 1: Rebellion

By Kenneth Golde

"Eat Moon Food. Drink Moon Water. Breathe Moon Air." That is the mantra of the Moon. But more than a century after the establishment of a Lunar Mining Colony, the inhabitants of this isolated planet are no longer just miners. They are a full civilization of families living in a dangerous environment with no natural resources, neither food nor water nor air, but are lacking only one true necessity in their lives: freedom. These people are still ruled by the Earth. Hampton Stoddard is an ore miner, one of the toughened men of the Moon who risks his life to dig the powerful energy source that Earth relies upon. When a cave-in deep beneath the great mine, Apollo Main, nearly kills him, Ham is catapulted to the status of hero on the Moon, and criminal on Earth. Together with J.T. Goodwin, the General Supervisor of all the miners on the Moon, Ham leads a strike, frightening the Earth that the export of essential Moon Ore will stop.Escobar Mantiga, the owner of the Lunar ore mines, enjoys unequaled power on Earth. Entire nations pay homage to the man who owns the sole source of the world's energy: Moon Ore. Furious that the "Lunies" have defied him, Mantiga exerts his influence to send armed troops to the Moon to arrest Stoddard and Goodwin and put an immediate end to the strike.Selena Mantiga, Escobar's beautiful and withdrawn sister, does not share her brother's hardened attitude toward the people of the Moon. She visits the strike at Apollo Main, expecting to meet with Goodwin, but instead finds Hampton Stoddard, whose attraction to Selena is instant and unmitigated, both enticing and alarming her. Ultimately, their love will change the future of both Earth and Moon. Now fugitives in their own homeland, Stoddard and Goodwin will lead the people of the Moon in what begins as a mining strike and becomes a Rebellion, in Part 1 of Kenneth Golde's epic, Lunar adventure series, "Breath Moon Air."Kenneth Golde has written two fiction novels, "Apollo Main" and "A Full Measure of Happiness," also available on Kindle, as well as the non-fiction "The Do-It-Yourself Bailout," the definitive guide to credit card debt settlement. He is also a professional screenwriter who has worked for Hollywood studios adapting classic Sci-Fi for film, such as Isaac Asimov's "The End of Eternity" and Richard K. Morgan's "Thirteen."
