Moon Rising by Daniel Weisbeck

by Justine Bergman November 16, 2021

written by Justine Bergman

We all have a list of genres we’d love to explore more, always on the hunt for that one book to open the floodgates and introduce us to a whole new world of literary adventures. Sci-Fi Thrillers are not something I tend to read very often, but I’ve been looking for one to help me dive a bit deeper. Cue Moon Rising by Daniel Weisbeck, book one of The Upsilon Series. Not only do readers get Science Fiction, but also a fresh sub-flavor of Biopunk. With the recent push of the cyberpunk aesthetic across other types of media, I can’t think of a better book to become acquainted with.

Every once in a while a book will blip on your radar and make you come to a screeching halt to look a bit closer, am I right? Well, this happened recently for me, and color me intrigued. Brian P.

We all need a bit of chaos in our lives. THIS is one I cannot wait to dive into. Fingers crossed I have the bandwidth to do so verrry soon.
