When a strange object is detected crash landing on the moon, a team of three US soldiers is sent to investigate. That's the premise for Jack Goodwind's novella Red Moon (Line of Blood Saga). The book is only 69 pages and a good introduction to the series if you're just after a taster.
I found the characters a little 2D in places but they get better as the story unfolds. High pressure situations lets us see a lot of their other traits and this makes them feel a lot more human and relatable.
The build up to what actually crashed on the moon is well paced and leaves you slightly on edge. What the soldiers - led by Major Joe Evans - find is superbly described, as well as their environments. It is easy to imagine being there.
This is a good introduction to what sounds like a great series.
