Book Blurb
She is not who she thinks she is. Her true identity is a mystery.
Trapped in a cellar by a man she does not know; a young girl is forced to act out the life of someone she has never met to stay alive. When she escapes, she finds herself on the run, confused and questioning her past. With the help of Bobby Houndstooth, a teacher she once knew, and Nutt, an android who loves to dance, Silon begins to unravel her true identity and a mysterious relationship she has with a sinister corporation.
Silon must decide if she is the person others expect her to be or if she can become a person of her own making.
Even if it kills her.
Praise for Moon Rising
“Androids who become sentient. Shadowy organizations with nefarious machinations. An unabashedly lesbian protagonist coming to feel familial about her non-human creations. There’s a lot to love about Daniel Weisbeck’s unusual and provocative novel MOON RISING, book one in the author’s new Upsilon Series, a sci-fi thriller that is bound to please existing fans, as well as creating new ones.” -IndieReader Review
“A thoroughly enjoyable novel from beginning to end with action, thrills, spills, suspense and many twists and turns along the way….This is an awesome book.” -Natalie, Readers’ Favorite, Five Stars
“…still trying to come to terms with the brilliance of this book…Highly recommended if you enjoy fast-paced, sci-fi, action packed stories with a cyberpunk leaning.” -Mary, Goodreads, Five Stars
“The plot is so interesting that you will find yourself gasping everytime you find something new.” -Netgalley ARC Reviewer
“Moon Rising is an immersive story of morality and survival in a captivating but corrupt futuristic world, an excellent start to Daniel Weisbeck’s Upsilon Series with a fast-paced plot and high-octane action.” -Lit, Readers’ Favorite Five Stars
“Moon Rising is a seminal start to what I hope will be a long and exciting series of novels by the author. Silon, Charlie, and Nutt have an engaging dynamic that makes me want to see more of them in the future. The pace and quality of the prose leave me keen to dive into the next in the Upsilon series.” -K.C. Finn, Readers’ Favorite Five Stars
