Known for spotlighting fresh voices, emerging trends, and international storytelling, the fair is where books spark conversations, deals are born, and stories find new life beyond borders—making it a true celebration of the power and reach of the written word.
We’re beyond thrilled to share that this book is officially being showcased at the 2026 London Book Fair, one of the world’s most exciting meeting places for stories, ideas, and publishing dreams. From buzzing aisles to curious readers and industry tastemakers, this is where books step into the global spotlight—and this one is ready to shine.
Having “Tranquility Moon: Where Violence Has No Voice” by Tom Skore displayed by Citi of Books in London feels like a celebration of every page and dream poured into its creation. It’s more than a milestone; it’s a moment of joy, pride, and possibility.
Tom Skore has enjoyed a creative life as a writer, actor, stage director, and professor. He has worked in regional theaters such as the Seattle Repertory and Goodman Theater, and had featured roles in major films. He directed an original play for bestselling author Daniel Keyes (Flowers for Algernon), acted in an original play for Tony Award winning director Daniel Sullivan, and acted with Academy Award winner Nicholas Cage.
He has written a book, The Resurrection Encounter, and twelve screenplays, including one he was commissioned to write for the world class Argentine pianist, Ana Maria Trenchi de Bottazzi. As an educator he has taught at seven universities, most recently the University of Alaska Anchorage. Tom has lived in thirteen states, is an avid reader of anything scientific, a pilot and experimental aircraft builder, and a veteran. He currently writes from his home in a small, Alaska town.
What if the Moon has been quietly watching us all along? Last March 10-12, 2026, at the London Book Fair 2026, visitors were intrigued by “Tranquility Moon: Where Violence Has No Voice” by Tom Skore creating a buzz at the fair. Among the bustling aisles filled with publishers, authors, and book lovers from around the world, this thought-provoking science fiction novel drew curious glances and sparked conversations about space, humanity, and the possibility of something greater beyond our planet.
The story introduces readers to Rianne, a bright and curious ten-year-old whose father, Paul, is working aboard the International Space Station. After a tragic school shooting shakes her neighborhood, Rianne turns to her telescope for comfort and distraction. What she captures instead is a mysterious light drifting across the Moon’s surface. That single moment sets off a chain of discoveries that stretches from a quiet backyard to the vast emptiness of space, drawing readers into a mystery that feels both intimate and cosmic.
What made the novel stand out during the fair was the way it blended suspense with heart. Rather than focusing on fear or alien invasions, Skore’s story explored something gentler. As Paul studies his daughter’s strange footage from orbit, unusual signals and objects near the Moon begin to appear. The possibility of a non-human intelligence slowly unfolds, not as a threat but as a presence that seems to value peace over conflict. This shift from typical sci-fi tension to compassion gave visitors at the fair something refreshing to talk about.
By the end of the event, “Tranquility Moon: Where Violence Has No Voice” had left a quiet but lasting impression on attendees of the London Book Fair. Its message felt especially meaningful in a world often filled with noise and division. For readers who enjoy thoughtful science fiction with emotional depth and a touch of wonder, this novel offered a reminder that the greatest leap forward for humanity might not come from technology alone, but from learning how to live with greater understanding and peace.
