Boom Town: Assignment Darklanding Book 08 Kindle Edition
The rush began with the first rumor. Exotics free for the taking! No hard work needed, just pick them up off the ground! And the miners flooded in. Then the shady businesses to supply the miners. Then the shady businesses to service the miners.
A frontier world. One sheriff. The Company and all the action one spaceport can’t handle.
How will Darklanding’s identity change when it becomes a Boom Town? Greed does strange things to people. It goes hand in hand with power. Will anyone succumb to the siren’s call of endless credits?
Fans of Firefly, Bonanza, and Tombstone will love this space opera / western and all the characters that make the story great. Join us on the latest journey through Darklanding.

About the authors
Thanks for checking out my Amazon landing page. Please click FOLLOW to keep up with my prolific launch schedule. I can’t do this without a whole bunch of amazing readers.
Scott Moon is the co-author of the bestselling Homeworld Lost, The Last Reaper, Terran Strike Marines, and Darklanding series. His solo works include Blue Sun Armada, Invasion Day, the Chronicles of Kin Roland, and more. As a lifelong fan of reading and a chronic daydreamer, he has retired from twenty-six years of public service to make his own schedule, indulge his imagination, and pursue a variety of hobbies. He’s an 80s kid who survived to (relative) maturity and it shows.
You can join his Facebook Group, The Scott Moon Base, or learn more than you ever wanted to about his writing process at Scott’s Science Fiction Substack.
Craig is a million-selling author of science fiction (post-apocalyptic, military sci-fi, and space opera), thrillers, and non-fiction.
Craig retired from the Marine Corps after a long career in the military intelligence community, having worked with most of the U.S. Government's three-letter agencies. After a short stint with physical security, Craig went to law school, graduated summa cum laude, and went into business consulting. From intelligence, to the inner workings of company board rooms, to on-the-ground leadership, Craig has seen it firsthand.
His books are an extension of his experience, putting the trials and tribulations of a fast-paced world into your hands. Whether in Science Fiction, Thrillers, Fantasy, or even his Non-Fiction, you'll find consistent themes of justice and doing right by those who are counting on their leaders. Leadership is a service, not a crown to lord over others.
No matter where Craig went, he always had a book with him. Thanks to 21st Century technology, He now has thousands of books at his fingertips and with him wherever he goes. How many books would he have read on deployments had he not had to carry a physical book?
No one is encumbered like that now. Craig loves the works of Robert Heinlein, Anne McCaffrey, Andre Norton, JRR Tolkien, Robert E. Howard, and so many more. He has been compared to Andre Norton and that is humbling - she was an incredible author with a huge list of novels to her credit. With every new book, Craig aspires to live up to those that you, the readers, have compared him to.
Through a bizarre series of events, Craig ended up in Fairbanks, Alaska. He never expected to retire to a place where golf courses are only open for four months out of the year. But that's the way it is. It is off the beaten path. He and his wife get to watch the northern lights from their driveway. Their dog has lots of room to run, just until temperatures reach fifty below zero. They have from three and a half hours of daylight in the winter to twenty-four hours in the summer.
It’s all part of the give and take of life. If they didn’t have those extremes, then everyone would live in the sub-arctic.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2018Each episode just keeps getting better. The author has asked which are out favorite characters, that's a difficult question to answer. The main characters who call the Mother Load home can't be beat but the former SI'S are right up there withe them. Each episode high lights different characters making them the current favorite. As an animal lover, Maximus always ranks near the top. The endings always leave me hungry for the next.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2018busy trying to get to the next episode. Typical boom town issues. Seems almost like the author knows something about boom towns.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2018I’ve had so much fun reading this series. It’s non stop action with new characters added each episode.
The entire series is evolving just like the planet, Darklanding, itself.
It’s a Wild West sci-fi with all the great ingredients of each.
I’m definitely looking forward to the next issue.
Scott and Craig, keep them coming!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2020Such a great series. I muchly liked this. Mast is funny and written well.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2018I've enjoyed the Darklanding series. It was an unexpected bit of fun here on Kindle Unlimited. And even though they've all been short they've been well written. This eighth book in the series though breaks that tradition. This installment jumps around a lot and it feels very rushed, like the authors need to crank one out on deadline and didn't take the time to make it cohesive.
If this been the first book, I wouldn't have read all the rest.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2020Bad things happen, really bad things. One of the planet's secrets is dealt with. But real evil came to Darklanding, and I'm sad. And Maximus is a hero.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2018I absolutely love this series. Think space western with humor. The story is face-paced and engaging. Best of all, every 18 days a new comes out
- Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2019enjoyed this whole series , from the very muchly deputy to the gasous pig dog to the company man and her couture closet all just fun mystery and mayhem. Thanks
