Alone on a wilderness trek in the New Mexico mountains, Lakota P.I. Howard Moon Deer meets a barefoot, half-crazed astrophysicist who claims he's been abducted by a flying saucer and has just returned from the planet Klizmor in possession of an illusive equation from their advanced civilization: the Theory of Everything. Is he a madman or part of a clever fraud? He's not just anyone, Howie soon discovers. He's Dr. Grisha Bloom, a famous Nobel Prize winning physicist, and when he's murdered Howie finds himself immersed in a dangerous world of UFO conspiracies, military secrets, and a group of cutthroat astronomers who are competing to claim credit for the discovery of a new subatomic particle, the Blue Moon Quark. BLUE MOON, the 6th Howard Moon Deer mystery, takes the reader on a roller-coaster ride through the dark side of New Mexico, birthplace of the atomic bomb, where science and fakery converge, and huge government contracts dangle for those brilliant enough-or ruthless enough-to reach for the stars. Review: Love the book, love the author - As always this was not only a great mystery, but how human are the characters. A book,to me, is only as good as the characters. In this series they are very human. Good people with human flaws. They overcome most of them, but the books don’t end with everything wonderful. They win, but people are hurt and injured to get over the challenges. Makes the books very real. As this one was. Good story line too. Review: An easy to read, but interesting, story. - This tale was easier reading than a lot of past Moon Deer stories because Westbrook avoided all the gratuitous, virtue-signalling political crap he used to stuff in to his stories. He concentrated on the story line and characters. So I will keep reading them for now.

A good story by Mr. Westbrook
This book was written about a topic few people know about unless you watched "The Big Bang Theory" . The story jumps around quite a lot and is difficult to keep all of these characters separate. It seems to have several chameleons in the book.

Good book
I like all the stories i've read by Robert Westbrook. I love how he paints word pictures that describe the way people think or act. He's very good at storytelling and immersing you in the environment he creates. He surely knows New Mexico and the people there. Consider me an avid fan!

Pretty Far Fetched
I‘ve enjoyed previous books in the Howard Moon Deer series, but the plot of Blue Moon stretches credibility. I found it difficult to stick with it to the end.
