I know I have said this before. I pick up a lot of books and don’t finish them. I either get bored or I don’t care about the characters or the story line is too convoluted. Sometimes I make myself skim it to the end just to see where it goes. Sometimes I skim through it so I have something to say at book club. 

I just finished reading Atmosphere by David Scott Moyer. I had none of those problems with this book. I read it in two days, couldn’t put it down. 

Atmosphere is a sci-fi story that takes place on a planet light years away from Earth. Twelve humans are sent to scope it out for possible settlement. Moyer has created a whole world for them to find. He includes all kinds of details to set the stage. Maybe he has been there? There are back stories for all the humans and some of the aliens they encounter. There is history, biology, science and emotion. It is a loving environment but through the whole book there is an underlying feeling of dread. I kept thinking, something is wrong. Something is not as it appears. There must be a twist. I was constantly looking around, on edge, eager to get on to the next page. I am looking forward to reading the next book in the Trilogy. 

Atmosphere is available on Amazon
