What happens? Interesting science fiction, the moon has been colonized under a giant oxygen tent or something, and a few folks on the moon have the "4th color" in their eyes, and if a normal human looks at them, they lose their minds. They all have to wear glasses to hide this to maintain order. There is a persistent cop on HR's trail because he winds up breaking the rule.
How long was this? 308 pages
Did I like this? Parts of it were interesting science fiction. The plot was unique and exciting a bit in the second half. It was challenging reading through the frustrating naming and language conventions ("They all got on the 'Johnwayneicus Laboratorium Highway, and he said 'what in the name of jesus and pixie are you doing?" The characters weren't well developed...just kinda frustrating, but entertaining.
Overall grade: B-
