2022 Silver Medal Winner, Readers' Favorite Book Awards

High-Octane Cyberpunk Thriller with humour and heartache.

"...a pedal-to-the-metal futuristic thriller...The brilliant opening sequence hooks readers immediately with intensity and dark mystery...There’s a lot to love here. The writing is laser-focused and fluid, the characters insightfully portrayed and realistic and the pacing relentless...the start of an amazing science fiction series." -BlueInk Review

"Androids who become sentient. Shadowy organizations with nefarious machinations. An unabashedly lesbian protagonist coming to feel familial about her non-human creations. There’s a lot to love about Daniel Weisbeck’s unusual and provocative novel MOON RISING..." -IndieReader Review

In the near future, advanced bio-robotics and genetic engineering unleashes a new era of androids that become the must have gadget of the masses. As the power of the corporations who own the technology behind the synthetic life-companions grows, so does their ambition. Secrets become weapons and those who can expose them become enemies.

When young Silon escapes from captivity with the help of doctor Bobby Houndstooth, she must outrun the corporation that wants her dead — and discover her own powerful abilities.

A Sci-Fi Biopunk Thriller for fans of Blade Runner, Ghost in the Shell, Hanna, and the Murderbot Diaries
