DALLAS GORDON STANDS ALONE BETWEEN EMPEROR ZHANG’S MILITARY AND THE LOSS OF AMERICA’S LUNAR BASE. CAN HE RALLY THE RESISTANCE BEFORE EPSILON AND THE AMERICANS ARE SWEPT OFF THE MOON?
Dallas Gordon has returned to Earth from Mars, leaving the Prospector mission in the hands of his replacement, Commander Genady Antonov. But unrest among the mining crew threatens the viability of the new permanent mining colony, Epsilon City.
Meanwhile, General Zhang Aiguo conspires to lead a new Chinese dynasty that rules the Earth, the Moon, and Mars. He signs a treaty with the remnant communist Chinese government, but plots to take over mainland China and the South China Sea. He also sets up Colonel Song Dajing to command China’s lunar base.
After a well-deserved rest, Dallas is assigned to EPSILON’s wing of the American lunar base. As events unfold on both the Earth and Moon, he finds himself opposing Song Dajing and the utter destruction of the American lunar base and the lives within it.
If Song gains mastery of the Moon, the domination of Mars and Epsilon City’s divided occupants are next.

“Dallas Gordon. I can’t tell you what a pleasure it is to finally meet you. Your crash-landing and evacuation to Prospector Base are a case study in our emergency leadership curriculum. It’s mandatory training for every USSF serviceman posted to this base.” He grasped Dallas’s hand and shook it firmly in spite of the probable pain to his fingers. “I’m Major Robert Everett, commanding officer of USSF lunar base.”
Dallas returned the handshake, mindful not to squeeze the damaged fingers too tightly. “Major Everett, the pleasure’s all mine.”
“Dallas, by now I’m sure you’ve surmised that the damage the base sustained two days ago was an unprovoked attack from our Chinese neighbors. The attack directly cost me two pilots” He cleared his throat. “USSF Command issued orders to retaliate against the missile launch site and their south polar communications array. Earlier today, I launched my three remaining pilots on a polar orbit to carry out those orders. We lost communication with our pilots mid-attack. It appears that the missile launch site incurred damage, but the communication array remains fully functional.”
“And your pilots?” Dallas asked.
“They were lost. A debris cloud occupies their orbital position.”

In his first life, BRIAN H. ROBERTS worked as a contractor and civil engineer in bustling Seattle. In his spare time he read novels by the greatest names in science fiction: Andy Weir, Frank Herbert, Arthur C. Clarke, Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov, and so many others. Whenever he read these authors, he often dreamt, “I’d love to write Sci-Fi Thrillers, something as engaging and entertaining as this.”
As with so many of us, life intervened. Raising a family, work, remarriage and finally retirement all placed demands on his time. Desiring a change – and time to write – he and his wife traded big city life for the outdoor adventures of Central Oregon. His writing draws deeply on his lifelong loves of science/technology and adventure sports. Crimson Lucre is his first novel.
