The last living astronaut to walk on the Moon has been murdered…

Silas visits his estranged grandfather's lakehouse in the aftermath of the deadly home invasion. What he discovers hidden below the floorboards triggers a mystery buried since the final trip to the Moon over fifty years earlier.

Rory returns to her family home in Vermont to write her second novel, but fate has a different story in mind. Her reunion is shattered when she's thrust into danger revolving around the same tokens.

Special Agent Waylen Brooks exposes a covert operation linked to the death of a retired astronaut. He soon finds out he's not the only one searching for answers and willing to kill for the truth.

The unlikely trio find themselves defying the odds, with no one to trust but each other.

Can they find the tokens before someone else does?

Where do these artifacts lead?

And what secrets should remain hidden?

Echoes From the Moon is a tale of lineage and secrets by Nathan Hystad, the best-selling author of The Other Place, Below Us, and Lost Contact.

5.0 out of 5 stars An absolutely impossible idea!
Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2024
Metal pieces the size and shape of a bookmark, fit together like a triangle forming a gate to the stars! The individual pieces holding a vision, A memory? An echo! of the surface of the moon. With the three pieces together they called a delta. The delta is assumed to be a gateway to the stars and beyond. Totally, impossibly, alien in design and function! Think of it - no expensive spacecraft needed. A transport to the impossible, possibly!
Of all the characters I like Silas and Rory the best. Inquisitive minds, wanting to know what the delta was for, who made it and why? Could it really be the mechanics to reach other worlds? What could be found? Friendly partners to help the Earth become home to a spacefaring humanity? Or aliens wanting Earth's resources? Surely not!
I guess we'll find out in the next chapter! I can't wait! Great characters and an intriguing storyline by an incredible artistic author. This is a great read!

An intriguing story that follows the grandchildren of two Astronauts that were on the last moon mission. The third Astronaut stayed in the return vehicle and never went to the moon. There is a mystery involved that is so important that Rory and Silas’ lives are in danger. An FBI agent investigates the case and assists them. The mystery is real…..what will happen?

I wish I knew what Nathan Hystad does to make his brain produce as many high-quality stories as he does. He has gotten to the point his books are now exhibit kind of a black hole gravity vibe – where once you start reading them you can’t put them down. I’ve just finished reading one of his latest – “Echoes From The Moon,” and he is in top form putting together a very good mystery thriller while melding genres like horror, science fiction, and romance into one compelling story. The plot line revolves around some strange and powerful artifacts that three astronauts found on the moon some 50 years ago, how they kept the find a secret, how this impacted their own lives and the people around them. Now someone else, a very powerful person or organization wants the artifacts and is more than willing to kill for them.
Rather than give away more, I suggest you get a copy and enjoy the ride.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Sci fi
Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2024
This is more of a detective story than sci fi. The writing is good but it's misleading labeled in science fiction, feel slightly betrayed. I did not finish this book, and it takes a lot for me too not finish a book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Innovative and exciting
Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2024
I was impressed by the unique concept of storyline. If advanced extraterrestrial beings can travel between star systems an advanced technology must exist to enable them to do so. The technology suggested in this book was intriguing.
I recommend this book to all sci-fi fans, and anyone who enjoys a good mystery thriller.
