LETHAL INJECTION: A SCIENCE FICTION NOVEL 

Lethal Injection: a science fiction novel 

 

He died by lethal injection.

Woke up on the moon.

No past. No escape.

 

Ian Knockshine was executed for a crime he didn’t commit—or so he thought.

Now he’s trapped in a brutal lunar prison with no memory of who he is. Here, prisoners don’t just lose their freedom—they lose their pasts. A powerful drug erases everything except one memory: their crime.

 

But Ian remembers nothing. Because he never committed a crime.

 

As he fights to survive and piece together fragments of his erased identity, a hidden mission resurfaces—one he planned himself.

 

Meanwhile on Earth, Ian’s chemistry partner risks everything to uncover the truth behind the lunar conspiracy that threatens all of humanity.

"WRITER'S DIGEST 32nd ANNUAL SELF-PUBLISHED BOOK AWARDS congratulates Karin Lovold on being awarded Honorable Mention in the category of General Fiction."

"LETHAL INJECTION is a masterfully written book. It had my attention till the very end. Lovold gives a scientific explanation to everything. She gives us details about the various chemicals and the complicated procedures required to survive on the moon. All this makes it easy to visualize the story. To be honest, Lethal Injection reminds me of Isaac Asimov's science fiction stories. It is that brilliant." ~ OnlineBookClub

"Karin Lovold's LETHAL INJECTION explores the evil that hides in the hearts of men, whether on Earth or on the Moon. Through an action-packed but still thought-provoking approach to weighty and disturbing issues such as eugenics, collective punishment, and mass murder, it manages to simultaneously shock, entertain, and perplex." ~ Independent Book Review

In Karin Lovold's LETHAL INJECTION, a labyrinth of conspiracy unfolds as Ian Knockshine awakens in a lunar penal colony, his memory erased, tasked with unearthly toil. As he grapples with his forgotten identity and the sinister machinations of a corrupt corporation, the fate of Earth hangs precariously in the balance. Lovold's precise prose blends scientific intricacy with riveting suspense, evoking the greats of the Sci-Fi tradition, and delivering a cast of characters to be remembered. ~ IndieReader

"We are proud to annouce that LETHAL INJECTION by Karin Lovold has been honored with the B.R.A.G. Medalliion (Book Readers Appreciation Group). It now joins the very select award-winning, reader-recommended books at indieBRAG." ~indieBRAG

Welcome to my page

I appreciate you stopping by

I've been a writer at heart since my teenage years, when daily journaling taught me the power of words to reflect, heal, and imagine. That habit grew into a lifelong love of storytelling.

 

After raising my daughters, I turned to fiction—beginning with Doorway to Deephollow, the first book in a middle-grade fantasy trilogy, followed by Books Two and Three. I then explored Christian romance in What Love Is This, and later ventured into speculative science fiction with LETHAL INJECTION: a science fiction novel. I’m also co-authoring a paranormal fantasy novel that blends suspense, mystery, and spiritual depth. As a multi-genre author, I write the stories that press on my heart—whether they unfold in magical forests, secret prisons, or small-town sanctuaries.

 

I live in Minnesota with my husband, our three daughters, their wonderful husbands, and our sweet granddaughter. When I’m not writing, you’ll find me reading, enjoying rainy afternoons, or sitting around a campfire with the people I love. My nonfiction work has also appeared in anthologies like Chicken Soup for the Soul and A Cup of Comfort.

 

Thanks so much for visiting—and God bless.
