About this ebook

High-concept science fiction, deeply human characters, and a weirdly wonderful story drive The Moons of Barsk, the sequel to the award-winning Lawrence M. Schoen's Barsk: The Elephants' Graveyard

Pizlo, the lonely young outcast and physically-challenged Fant, is now a teenager. He still believes he hears voices from the planet’s moons, imparting secret knowledge to him alone. And so embarks on a dangerous voyage to learn the truth behind the messages. His quest will catapult him offworld for second time in his short life, and reveal things the galaxy isn’t yet ready to know.

Elsewhere, Barsk's Senator Jorl, who can speak with the dead, navigates galactic politics as Barsk's unwelcome representative, and digs even deeper into the past than ever before to discover new truths of his own.

    Maybe I've taken too long to get around to reading this novel because, in a word, it has "middle" written all over it. While Jorl the historian remains a character, this book is really about Pizlo, the pre-cog "abomination" of the first "Barsk" novel coming into their own. There is also a strong sense that a showdown is coming between the pariah race of uplifted elephants with the galactic alliance of other uplifted mammals of Earth over the sins that created that alliance. I'm still looking forward to that story.

    I love Barsk, but I warn you, this book ends on a bit of a cliffhanger. I was expecting something to happen related to the cliff, but I figured it wouldn't happen until the next book. Then it happened. I'm glad to see Pizlo growing up, and I hope for more.
