Lost Under Two Moons eBook Lindsay Schopfer
LOST UNDER TWO MOONS, by Lindsay Schopfer is an intriguing debut novel by an indie author. I was up until 2:00 am reading it--I found it that compelling.Lost Under Two Moons is an unusual science fiction adventure. It is a castaway tale, with a real twist. There are only two characters, which is an intriguing notion in itself. The majority of the novel is comprised of journal entries written by the protagonist, Richard. His frank observations and wry commentary are impossible to put down. There are also journal entries written by an alien archeologist, and this juxtaposition is quite well done.
It soon becomes clear Richard is never going home. Despite the weight of severe depression and loneliness he is unwilling to die. He finds the strength within himself to do many things he never thought himself capable of through trial and error, using only the things he has available from his crash landing. The author never resorts to conveniently placed items. Richard has to craft what he needs and his tools and his efforts are crude, but he is able to survive by using his creativity.
There is a great deal of action, as Richard must deal with alien wildlife and learn what plants and animals he can eat, and which beasts he should fear. Shelter and reliable sources of water remain a struggle for him, and what works one day often does not work the next. His basic resources are limited, though his difficulties are not. Richard must adapt or die.
The tale is exceedingly well-crafted, not at all a rehash of Robinson Crusoe gets lost in another dimension, as it so could easily have become. Schopfer weaves the story in such a way the reader experiences Richard's triumphs and tragedies as he recounts them in his diary.
I found myself thinking about Richard Parks long after I finished the book--a sure sign of a great tale.

Lost Under Two Moons eBook Lindsay Schopfer Reviews
Sweet story. Simple direct narrative never disturbed the dream of being there, sharing in the protagonist's struggles, victories, discoveries. Observations of the mysterious, alien environment were were fresh and immediate and understandable. This is a theme that is close to my heart and I think the writer did a great job.
This book is really good - a real page-turner. The lead character gets trapped in another world, and has to confront the unknown while learning how to survive on his own. The book really draws you in after the first several pages, and keeps you wondering how the lead character will survive. It also kept me contemplating what I would do in the given situation, and how I would survive if I were lost in the wilderness. The descriptions of the landscapes, animals, and events are very vivid, yet they also allow the reader to fill in the details in his/her imagination. The first 10-15 pages took me a week or so to get through, and I burned through the remaining few hundred pages in less than three days. Read this book. You'll like it, and you'll likely be reading future books from this rising author.
I enjoyed reading "Lost Under Two Moons." The alien world was well described and the format of the book worked well. I felt like I had found a lost diary and was the first reader of the words it contained. Great if you love the mystery of discovery when you are reading.
I felt empathy and connection with the main character. It was interesting to relate to them while being glad I wasn't in their situation.
"Lost Under Two Moons" is a quick and satisfying read. I enjoyed the world building and the characterization. The descriptions were interesting and helped me visualize the settings and elements of the book.
The only reason I didn't give this five stars is because I'm assuming a standard of 5 being for the classics of literature that we study in school. That being said, I am a picky reader and was very pleasantly surprised by the attention to detail in development of the story. He's clearly done his due diligence, yet it reads at a very natural pace. I agree with the other reviewers here that you agree with what seems like a totally natural progression for the character, yet it leaves you wondering what you would do in the same situation and since the character is believable and likable you don't find yourself yelling "No you idiot!" throughout. The author also gives just enough information about this strange world he's found himself in that as a literature piece, it's equivalent to the great movies pre-cgi where they gave you just enough hint of the threat so that your imagination does you more damage in imagining what else is there, unseen and unsupposed. Without spoiling, I found the ending refreshing in a way you don't see as often, even though I found myself getting caught up in wanting a neat and tidy wrap up. It's a travesty of American media that we want everything delivered to us in a nice happy bundle, and this ending keeps the story in your head, mulling over the possibilities, for much longer after you're finished.
I’m a moon child, so two moons will always make me pick up a book. Double the tidal pull, eh? Anyhow, this was an unusual read. It’s been a while since I read sci-fi, but this story made me realize I need to read more of what used to be one of my favorite genres.
Being journalized, I wasn't sure at first that I'd like it. But this feels like an authentic depiction of someone thrust into the protagonist’s situation. He angsted. got depressed, celebrated his accomplishments, all the emotions someone stranded would go through. And his journal...well, it didn't take long for me to realize this was his Wilson (think Castaway).
I’ll admit, I got a bit confused by all the animals. But I had to continue the journey, had to see where it ended up. I honestly wanted more. I can’t say anything else without giving the story away, except to say I was nowhere ready to leave what this author created. I’ll be hoping there’s a sequel.
