Sylvia Stryker has no business being on the next Moon Unit Cruise Line, unless you count aspirations and dreams. The career that once felt within her reach—Intergalactic Cruise Ship Security—disappeared the day her dad was arrested for collusion with space pirates. Since then she’s begrudgingly been running the ice mine for her aging mother, the two of them social pariahs amongst their fellow Plunians. Everything changes when the uniform lieutenant position on Moon Unit 6 opens up days before departure. Sylvia immediately puts her hacking skills to use, uploading bogus credentials onto the crew manifest. Now to just lay low, do her job, and impress the new boss.
Her plan goes off without a hitch until a non-celestial body falls from the uniform inventory closet after departure. Reporting it means drawing attention, the very opposite of laying low. When the head of security shows up to investigate and throws her into the spaceship holding cell, her onboard status shifts from staff to prisoner. If Sylvia can’t expose the killer herself, she’ll be bunking with her dad at the local space prison.
Murder on a Moon Trek*is the quirky first novel featuring uniform lieutenant Sylvia Stryker. If you like unique characters, delightful plots, and cool futuristic fashion, you'll love Diane Vallere's entertaining interstellar series.
*Previously published as FLY ME TO THE MOON.

Now Sylvia has managed to get a job aboard the ship 'Moon Unit 5', true it's as a Uniform Inventory Manager, but from small acorns. She boards the ship early & is about to start her work when she finds something very unexpected - the body of the ship's second navigation officer. What was he doing in the Uniform Closet? Was it an accident or murder? Who's going to believe she had nothing to do with it when she's lied about everything else?
The security onboard the ship is headed by Neptune, notorious enough for Sylvia to recognise him when he arrives to investigate. Sylvia is taken into custody by Neptune but he soon tells her that he wants her help to look into what is happening on the ship as something is badly wrong but he won't tell her more than that. Sylvia is left not knowing who to trust, & has no friends onboard except her mechanical cat & a mischievous Gremlon stowaway named Pika.
I will say right at the start that this is not my usual reading fare, I rarely read 'cozy mystery' type books, but the fact that this was set in space piqued my interest. Sylvia is your usual leading lady: intelligent, headstrong, sometimes prone to not thinking things through before acting, & being a little slow to pick up on clues, but she's fairly easy to like. Neptune is the archetypical strong, silent type who could save our heroine half the trouble if he just talked to her. Overall I liked it - it has a strange kind of charm, & a lively sense of humour & doesn't take itself too seriously. I'm not sure I'll read any more of the series but this was a pleasant surprise. 3.5 stars (rounded up).




Fly Me to the Moon follows the story of Sylvia Stryker who has hacked her way aboard the newest space cruise ship, Moon Unit 5. She has taken the place of the original uniform manager to fulfill her dream of serving aboard a space ship. She is more than qualified, but she didn't pass the physical and didn't finish her studies. I liked how the main character was half alien, even tough it didn't really impact her character as much as I had hoped, I still thought it was a nice addition. I also thought her position at the uniform ward was interesting, although I still have no good idea what her normal duties would entail.
The mystery starts almost right away, but then slow downs as other storylines and plot points pop up. There are still some clues, but it's hard to notice them while reading, but they do make sense at the end. There are parts with lots of clues and parts with less and that goes on like that until the end when things suddenly build up. The pace of the mystery progression was a bit off to me and I would've preferred a more constant pace and more finding clues. It's also hard to really piece things together as for a long time you're missing a lot of information. Most of the important clues are either right there at the start already or get uncovered at the end. There are also people who keep secrets which muddles the investigation. All in all it was a fun mystery, but the pace was a bit off sometimes.
Besides the mystery there is a bunch of world building, background info, character info and more put into this book. There is a lot of setting the stage here, which slowed down the pace at times, but it was important to fully understand the whole situation. I am also hoping that now the stage is set and we know more about this world book 2 will be even better.
I like Sylvia well enough, but had a hard time fully warming up to her. I liked how she seemed smart and capable, but at the same time she could act as bit unprofessional at times. The whole drama surrounding her place on the ship also didn't really appeal to me, I just wanted to either see her locked up or not, now it was just going back and forth and it just felt weird. Although it makes more sense with some of the information we learn at the end. There's also a twist that didn't make as much sense as it would've been easy enough for people to figure out what had happened.
And her interactions with Neptune irritated me to no avail and I was pretty sure from the start of the book that he was the love interest. I just didn't get why they kept hiding things and instead of answering questions and being open with each other, they had this half annoyed and angry conversations at the time, which just didn't work for me. Also it felt pretty unprofessional at times as well when they worked together and didn't were open with each other. I did like them a bit better toward the end when some secrets come to light and Neptune's behavior makes a bit more sense.
The world building was pretty interesting. At first it very much felt like Star Trek meet cozy mystery, but the further I got in the book the more it started to feel like it's own universe with some nods to Star Trek. I liked that we have some aliens aboard the ship, but at the same time I would've liked them being a bit more alien. Plunians are said to be less emotional than humans, but with Sylvia being half plunian I didn't really notice much of that with how often she was annoyed and acted on emotions in this book. How their planets atmosphere was different was a nice twist. I did found a few parts of the world building to be a bit confusing and not everything made full sense to me, but this is more light sci-fi with a mystery, so I didn't mind too much.
To summarize: this was a fun and enjoyable read that brings cozy mystery to space. I liked the combination of genres and the author handled that part very well. The mystery was a good one, but I would've liked a bit more clues and the pace of the mystery felt a bit weird sometimes, with parts were it progressed much and then parts where not as much happened. I like how everything fell on it's place at the end. Sylvia was a nice main character to follow, although I didn't fully warm up to her. I liked how she was smart and it was a fun how she was half alien. Although the aliens didn't really seem too alien. The world building as well done and I liked getting a feel for the universe. Some things were a tad confusing or didn't quite make sense, but I didn't mind too much. The other plot lines and lots of background, world and character information and such slowed the pace down a bit and I hope book 2 will be even better than this one.
