Continuing its series of interviews with first-time novelists, the Voice of Science Fiction introduces you to this new talent, who developed his story over a six year period before it finally saw print. Following in the tradition of "2001: A Space Odyssey," "Lunar Legends" begins on the surface of the Moon, when 21st century colonists discover a settlement that is already there, and takes the human race on a voyage of discovery to the moons of Jupiter. What will they find there? What happens in between? And why is the name of our planet spelled "Erth?" Find out when Joseth Moore makes his Destinies debut in this 112-minute extravaganza.
