5.0 out of 5 stars A Pheno-moon-al Read! 4 Nov 2007
Format:Mass Market Paperback
'Imagine every night entering a nightmare world you can't escape and being told real life is a dream. Skye Brown has it all: the cool job, the hot boyfriend, the apartment on New York's Upper West Side. But lately she can't enjoy any of it. She's having dreams of a post-apocalyptic world. Of a bleak futuristic wasteland. Of a struggle against oppression. And she's been told she's a...
MOONGAZER
But what is that? And what is reality? In her dreams, she's not Skye Brown at all, but Mariah Quinn. In her dreams there's Dawn, the beautiful yet haunted soldier, and Skye is but the empty shell of a girl he once loved. And there was a betrayal, a great betrayal. Ripped between Dark Siders and club kids, the mundane and the mystic, Skye must discover who she is, what she wants and who wants her. And why. But in the glow of the moon, it's not always easy to recognise the face in the mirror'

'Moongazer' is a great futuristic fantasy novel. The reader follows the witty, empathic and realistic narrator Skye, as she struggles to find out much needed truth's, one of which being who she actually is. The relationship between Skye and Dawn is extremely touching and a delight to read. This novel is full of engaging twists and turns. The reader is lulled into many different suspicions, but the truth is not known until the end of this thoroughly enjoyable book. Even with the similarities to 'The Matrix' and 'Total Recall' this is a fabulous action packed and exciting read. I would love a sequel!

I wasn`t sure about this book, but it was gripping and original. You may enjoy this book even more if you are into matrix, video games.

5.0 out of 5 stars Are You Ready to Gaze At The Moon? 6 Aug 2007
By L. J Lewis - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I'm glad to see that Dorchester's SHOMI imprint may have some hope after all. While I their first offering Wired qualifies as one of the worst books I read all summer, I'm happy to say Mariane Mancusi's Moongazer is the second best.

Skye Brown is a videogame designer haunted by strange dreams. She's been having nightmares of a strange underground world were she's ruthlessly pursued by government soldiers. One night she is pulled across dimensions and wakes up in this strange reality. This has arrived on Terra, a ruined alternate version of Earth. Nuclear war has forced humanity underground. A select few with wealth and power live in luxury while the poorer Dark Siders, the citizens forced to live deeper underground, live in squalor and desperation. Here she must get to the bottom of conflicting claims that Skye is Mariah Quinn, scion of a wealthy family turned leader of a rebellion, or that she is just a girl who resembles Mariah accidentally pulled to Terra through the Moongazing Program, an attempt to relieve overcrowding through immigration to the alternative world.

With a unique well-realized subterranean Las Vegas-like setting and plenty of unexpected plot twists, Moongazer hits all the right the notes. Complementing the action is a competently written romance between Skye and follow rebel Dawn Grey. Skye is a well-written character who acts with believable skepticism at first to her new surroundings and undergoes a plausible character evolution as she discovers the truth of things. It's a real page-turner and there were times that I found it hard to tear myself away from the world of Moongazer. The ending is a bit open ended though. Is it too much to hope for a sequel?

2.0 out of 5 stars Not for everyone 23 Dec 2007
By The Girl Next Door - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I really wanted to like this book. When I first saw it, I'll admit that I was drawn to it by the artwork and then the description on the back, along with the first chapter which I read while shopping. But as I dived further into the world, it began to lose its luster, and slowed to a screeching halt.

5.0 out of 5 stars Edgy, Smart and A Fabulous Read 30 Aug 2007
By Lauren Dane - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Kudos to Dorchester for all the risks it lets its authors take with lines like Shomi. It gives me hope.

Moongazer is the second book released from the manga-esque line Shomi and it's just as good as Liz Maverick's Wired.

In this story, Mancusi gives us Skye, but is she Mariah? And a dimension flipping world of Terra, devastated by war and famine and those lucky souls who leave through Moongazing to live on Earth.

Skye gets pulled to Terra where people there think she's a revolutionary named Mariah, including the very sexy blond who whisks her away on his hoverbike.

Mancusi delivers lots of taut action, steamy romance and excellent storytelling and I can't say enough wonderful stuff about Moongazing so I'll close by urging you all to get out and grab this one for yourselves.
