I love crime novels and I love crime stories, I like heist and
caper kind of stories and I thought, «Hey, why not do a caper on the moon?»
The mixture
of patriotic drama, detective
story and espionage thriller knits together in the second half and pays off in a climactic bit
of poetic justice that is a fantasy, a
kind of con
caper played on the Gestapo, yet is oddly satisfying despite the terrific cost in innocent lives.
