It's certainly a shot in the dark and thus begins a short friendship among two young people, living eighty years apart. Lily's always tried to lighten the mood with jokes, although this is no joking matter, war is no joking matter. Matt is from Texas and you can tell he is even though he's never roped a cow and never wants to do so. These two are funny but also desperate to stave off the destruction that is coming in the future, if only it's possible. I am over the top satisfied with a very short story and its realism, Quinn offered me a chance to experience through words - a telecommunication of a sorts of quasi time travel. Is there a possibility to change history with the power of suggestion? In her author’s note, Quinn states that Lily’s character is closely based on that of Pat Owtram, a petty officer in the Woman’s Royal Naval Service, aka the WRENS. Quinn states that author Tessa Dunlop wrote a book based on Ms Owtram entitled “The Bletchley Girls”. Kate Quinn is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of historical fiction. A native of southern California, she attended Boston University where she earned a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Classical Voice. She has written four novels in the Empress of Rome Saga, and two books in the Italian Renaissance, before turning to the 20th century with “The Alice Network”, “The Huntress,” “The Rose Code,” and “The Diamond Eye.” All have been translated into multiple languages. Kate and her husband now live in San Diego with three rescue dogs. Direct telecast from the Command service module is not possible but CSM stored the recording of conversation which is transmitted by LM (which occur once in a rotation because the LM is stationary while CSM is orbiting the moon) then CSM sents to earth.

As for Setse Nalev’s reasoning on having an oxygen supply to use the magnesium flares, as soon as you open the valve on the cylinder the oxygen would escape into the vacuum of space.

Signal Moon book review

Signal Moon”, by Kate Quinn is a bit of a science fiction story involving physics and multi-dimensions. Also, not a genre I gravitate to. Author Kate Quinn is the draw. She is one of my favorite historical fiction authors. The year is 1943, when petty officer Lily Baines manages to tune into a radio transmission she has been trained to intercept and decode for the navy. Whilst this information is vital to the war effort, there is one revelation that makes this intelligence startling. It is from the future!!!. To start, Signal Moon by Kate Quinn isn’t a novel. It’s not even a novella. It’s a short story that is going to take you about an hour to read, if that. That doesn’t mean it’s not worth it. As Ms. Quinn states in the author’s notes “I’ve never written anything with a modern day plot thread, so Signal Moon was a fun departure from my usual strictly historical territory”.

While her superiors are certain that Lily has just been working too many days in a row without a break, Lily feels like she owes it to her fellow signal tech, the man she just heard narrate his own death, to try to help him. So she sends him a letter, a 1943-era radio, extra batteries, and a list of frequencies that she promises to listen on at a specific time every day. I feel like I've been on an adventure! Traveling from Withernsea, England in 1943 to New York 2023!command / service module- CSM was designed to return astronauts from the lunar surface on a direct-descent mission to earth and splash down. Yorkshire, 1943. Lily Baines, a bright young debutante increasingly ground down by an endless war, has traded in her white gloves for a set of headphones. It’s her job to intercept enemy naval communications and send them to Bletchley Park for decryption.
