Lethbridge-Stewart: Moon Blink

Hey Guys,

welcome to the 5th adventure of the Lethbridge-Stewart Series ‘Moon Blink’. Again I got confused with what I book I have to read next. Normally you would read ‘Mutually Assured Domination’ before ‘Moon Blink’. Like the other adventures this is about Lethbridge-Stewart with Anne and Bill Bishop. For a Lethbridge-Stewart Series it has way to little of our future Brig in it. It is an adventure of Anne and Bill.

Good and Bad Aliens

This story is about the space race. Just that the space race that we could witness isn’t the real one going on. Americans and Russian has already a base on moon and found there an alien life form. As we all can imagine it doesn’t go very well. It gets really fast clear that the bad guys in this novel are not the aliens. It is the human race. So Anne and the Brig has to deal with good aliens and bad humans.

Baby Alarm

An old friend of Anne is coming to town and asked her for help. She ran from scientist with an alien baby. At Anne’s she involves a lot of people. Like she called Bill – why ever she would call Bill when she just knew him from the tellings of Anne. Also she brings Sally in what actually doesn’t really make much sense – even less when she as no role in this adventure.
I am a little let down be this book. It seems rather easy to care for an alien baby which don’t get anything to eat and nobody wonders that he didn’t need any thing to eat? There is so much in that goes unattended. Which is really sad.
But apart from that the story is rather nice. I really like Bill and we see more of the developing relationship between Anne and Bill.

Military

In the last part of the book when Anne and Lethbridge-Stewart finally work together, Anne gets on my nerves. She worked a lot with the Brig at this point she should know him a little. But she is judging him so much from thoughts she had herself in the very same book. Also the way she handled herself when they followed the bad guy to the show down. I am not a big fan of military either. But she is acting so headless and makes the situation never better. They are three people against a freaking group! They have to think things through. The way she is angry at him for not reacting… stop it. He is just trying to get everyone out alive. That she doesn’t seems to get that is so annoying. Most of all because before she always wanted him at his side and always that he could help them and then he does but it is not good enough for her.
