Crater is about a boy by that name that lives in a colony on the moon. Obviously
it is about much more than that. He's an orphan raised by his best friend's mom,
who happily works mining on the moon. Conveniently, Crater is just the kind of
person the General is looking for to complete a vitally important mission. The
mission takes him across the moon, where he comes into his own while meeting
interesting characters on his adventures.
The idea for the book was
intriguing to me and I think that Mr. Hickam pulled it off. I was interested in
the book to the very end. The treasure was a bit of a let down, but the
ramifications of it keep the story going. I enjoyed the different characters
that Crater meets and thought that they complimented the story well. There were
some predictable plot points, but they didn't take away from my enjoyment of the
book. It will be interesting to see what comes in future books, with the
foundation that was laid in this book. I look forward to more installments in
the series to see what Crater and his friends will get themselves into next
time.
