Cobb, blends a fun mix of time travel, history, alien abduction, and interstellar war. If that sounds like a tall task, it is, but Cobb handles it admirably.<\/p>\n<p>Trace Jackson goes fishing with his dog Skiff, discovers a Coast Guard boat in distress, and attempts a rescue, only to end up transported back in time to Florida circa 1818, just in time for the Seminole Indians to be attacked by Andrew Jackson. But the body-snatching aliens who botched his first abduction are determined to draft him into fighting their future war.<\/p>\n<p>Josette Legard, a French resistance fighter in World War II, disappears, abducted by aliens to fight in their interstellar war. But events and growing suspicions make her wonder if she&#8217;s fighting for the good guys. At her side is diminutive Snow White of the post-apocalyptic year 7,000 (give or take), one of the few remaining humans. He fights because the aliens promised him his deepest desire&#8230; Josette.<\/p>\n<p>The end result is time travel, intergalactic war, Nazis, aliens, Seminole Indians, a good dose of humor, and more, all mashed together and served hot. Its zaniness is its strength, but also a weakness, as the plot tends to careen wildly and the odd speech patterns of the aliens (due to their translator) can become wearying. Cobb has a penchant to get off track, and while the distractions are usually amusing, they don&#8217;t always drive the story forward.<\/p>\n<p>I enjoyed\u00a0A Moon Called Sun quite a bit. If wacky adventures are your thing, you will too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Genre: Science Fantasy Publisher:\u00a0 Darkwater Syndicate Published: 2017 Reviewer Rating:\u00a0 Reviewer: David L.
