Hacking the Moon: Crater, by Homer Hickam

Book Review: “Crater” By Homer Hickam

“Crater” by Homer Hickam, is aimed at younger readers and manages to deliver quite a well-paced adventure. The book focuses on the adventures of Crater Trueblood a 16 year old blue collar kid who lives on the Moon complete with a mysterious past and a penchant for invention. He also has a knack of stumbling into one mini-adventure after another as he makes his way across the lunar surface to catch a ride on a spaceship to obtain a secret object for his boss. In a nutshell, “Crater” is sort of like Harry Potter meets Indiana Jones on the Moon – with some John Guest thrown in for good measure.”
