    Pete Kagen, a brilliant but imagination-starved troubleshooter, arrives on the Moon to find out why Earth’s costly rocketships are disappearing without a trace. He expects corruption, mismanagement, or military blunders—but instead encounters an eerie second sun in the sky, a mysterious homesteader growing impossible “crops,” and a lunar landscape hiding secrets far beyond human engineering. As Kagen digs deeper, his skepticism is tested by strange accidents, unexplained failures, and a man whose quiet isolation masks an extraordinary truth. 
    The Homesteader showcases James Blish’s gift for blending scientific authenticity with sharp character insight. Blish, known for his precise prose and visionary ideas, brings readers into a tense, atmospheric mystery where logic and intuition collide on the Moon’s barren frontier. 
    James Blish (1921–1975) was a major voice in mid-century science fiction, celebrated for elevating the genre with rigorous scientific thinking and literary craftsmanship. Best known for Cities in Flight and his influential Star Trek adaptations, Blish helped define the standards for “hard” science fiction while inspiring generations of writers to come. His stories remain essential reading for anyone drawn to speculative ideas grounded in possibility.
