Dai­ly Moon Dis­patch – 11 Sep­tem­ber 2026

A New Moon sits with the Sun as seen from Earth.

The long lunar night con­tin­ues at Con­rad Sta­tion. Out­side there is only Earth­light on the regolith and the hard black of vac­u­um. Earth hangs high above the sta­tion. Sur­face activ­i­ty remains min­i­mal. Life con­tin­ues inside the habi­tats under arti­fi­cial light, where the qui­et tech­ni­cal mar­gins that keep every­one alive stay ful­ly in force.

Jim Ross — Coot­er to any­one who has been here long enough — is the kind of sta­tion reg­u­lar who knows which items were sup­posed to go back, and which con­ver­sa­tions should stay in the infir­mary doorway.

Lunar noir hard sci­ence fic­tion: jus­tice is per­son­al, and back­up is three days away.

The Dai­ly Moon Dis­patch con­tin­ues to range across the whole Fab­u­lae Lunae series. Any of the three books and any of their cen­tral char­ac­ters may take the lead on a giv­en day.
