The Last Crucible Reviews

Praise for book 1 and 2 in the Reclaimed Earth series:

Complexity and moral ambiguity enough to make this a serious, engrossing story. Analog SF

"A wonderfully entertaining debut novel." Compelling Science Fiction

"...wildly imaginative and totally entertaining. J.D. Moyer, you have yourself a new fan." Cemetery Dance

"The Sky Woman scores on so many points. Great characters (I include the ostensible bad guy Adrian), several intertwining complex stories, a highly imaginative future Earth for a setting and the possibility of exciting future instalments." Whiskey with my Book

"The Sky Woman is an interesting blend of historical and sci-fi elements, that really brings a rather unique voice to the genre." In Libris Veritas
