Book Description
The Last Moon is a historical fiction that provides a glimpse and refreshes the memory of those who have witness the picturesque and splendor of St. Pierre. Nearby, Mt. Pelée richly lies with its dense jungles and mineral-healing waters. It is formidable like a gigantic octopus with thick tentacles firmly wrapping around the northern tip of the island. But behind its innocence is an unpredictable nature—mighty enough to annihilate all life forms—and rarely reminding those living and working within its umbra of its supremacy. And true to its nature, this tale tells a concrete presentation of exterior refinement and loveliness that cloaks an interior dark, invisible nature akin to the world of crime and injustice that boil a vulnerable city.
As Mt. Pelée erupted in a cloud of gas and fire in one of the most awesome and destructive pyrotechnic displays ever offered by nature on May 8, 1902, thirty thousand citizens lay dead or dying, and engulfed the town in flames. Mother Nature was not entirely to blame for this disaster. But who and what were the real culprits to the occurrence of this devastating catastrophe?
