LETHAL INJECTION: A SCIENCE FICTION NOVEL
© 2023 Karin Lovold
Sentenced to death. Awoken on the moon. Memory erased.
Ian Knockshine was convicted of a crime he didn’t commit and executed by lethal injection—or so he thought. When he wakes up on the moon with no memory, he discovers he’s been thrust into a brutal lunar prison. Forced to mine for survival alongside other desperate souls, Ian faces a dangerous truth: his missing memories hold the key to an even greater mission.
​
But Ian’s trials on the moon are only part of the story. Back on Earth, his former chemistry partner battles his own challenges, waiting for Ian to remember—and to make contact. As both men face impossible odds, their intertwined fates could determine the future of humanity itself.
​
With time running out, can Ian reclaim his purpose before it’s too late? Or will his erased memories cost them their chance to survive—and humanity’s hope for salvation?

"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
