Book Description
Inhabitants of two moons orbiting a gas giant realise they have a common past. Their search for their roots reveals more than they had bargained for and the truth they find 'out there' illuminates a side to human nature that is probably best left in the dark.
"A remarkable debut SF novella filled with thought provoking ideas."
"Absorbing storytelling, sprinkled with humour and surprises."

Loved this Book!!!!,
By Imelda (North Yorkshire) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Ardly Effect: Two Moons - One (Paperback)
I'm not normally a Sci Fi fan but I really really loved this book. It is hugely funny and I can only describe it as a hidden gem, a treasure waiting to be found.
This would make a great TV series.

Huh?? It's just OK - just!,
This review is from: The Ardly Effect: Two Moons - One (Paperback)
I'm amazed that anyone would give this 5 stars.
I guess anything that claims to be as good as Hitchhikers is asking for trouble. To be honest I didn't expect anything nearly as good, but you'd hope for a few laughs. I'm 70 pages in and it hasn't managed to curl a lip even. "Mitis Green" is a pen name concocted presummably to hide the author's embarassment. The story is a bit weird. The heros of the tale are a father and daughter pair, which is odd. The attempts at humour seem to be crude innuendo and ... well I'm not sure. Maybe the behaviour of the characters is meant to amuse or something - I'm really at a loss to see why reviewers say this is funny. It comes across as a childrens Sci-Fi novel - with a cleavage or two thrown in to amuse. It didn't even raise a smirk for me. What we're left with is a rather tame story. This book reads similar to Space Captain Smith. The writing style is very similar to Toby Frost who manages a similar lack of humour and yet still acquires the same sort of plaudits that this book obtains. It wouldn't surprise me if the author is the same person - yet we find online THE ARDLY EFFECT - GARY BAKER available for FREE DOWNLOAD. So if any of you fancy a read of this, supposedly funny book, go get the download. (It's even got more pages.) I might have given this three stars as a readable, daft bit of fluff. Having read so many rave reviews, including the complete and utter nonsense on the cover, it's getting knocked down a peg. Actually two stars is probably generous. Anyone that thinks this is on a par with Hitchhiker's must have seen the duff film and not read the wonderful books. It's not even as good as the film!
