Mark Twain on the Moon #2
The Deirdre
The amazing, perilous, sometimes hilarious adventures of Samuel Clemens on the Moon continue in The Deirdre, book two of the Mark Twain on the Moon saga.
At the end of book one, Prospectors!, Sam and his partner Calvin found themselves stranded in a remote crater, down to their last cylinder of air.
In book two, they are dramatically rescued by the men of The Deirdre, an ice mine on the crater’s rim, and forced into indentured servitude, digging for ice deep under the surface of the Moon. But when the Deirdres jump a neighboring claim, and no-nonsense Calvin hears the cries of a long-dead miner on his radio, life inside the Moon turns deadly, and soon Sam needs all of his wits, and a six-gun, to keep himself and the Deirdres alive.
