International book fairs play an important role in creating connections, bringing together the people and ideas that continue to shape the publishing industry. This year, LIBER Feria Internacional del Libro 2026 welcomed the global publishing community to Barcelona for three days of networking, professional exchange, business opportunities, and conversations that opened new paths for books and their creators.
Taking place from September 29 to October 1, 2026, at Fira Barcelona Gran Via, Hall 1, LIBER 2026 served as a meeting point for the Spanish-language book industry and an important bridge between Europe and Latin America. The 44th edition brought together publishers, authors, agents, distributors, booksellers, rights buyers, and other industry professionals, creating opportunities to connect, exchange ideas, explore new markets, and discover possibilities within the evolving world of publishing.
Among the titles represented by Citi of Books at this year’s international gathering is “Tranquility Moon: Where Violence Has No Voice” by Tom Skore. The book gives readers another opportunity to discover the author’s creative work and adds another distinctive title to the range of stories being brought into the LIBER community. Through its presence at the fair, the book can become part of conversations surrounding literature, publishing, and the ways authors can connect with readers across different markets.
“Tranquility Moon: Where Violence Has No Voice” by Tom Skore is a stunning blend of science fiction, social reflection, and heartfelt family drama. The story begins with Rianne, a bright ten-year-old whose father, Paul, is aboard the International Space Station for a record-breaking mission. When Rianne witnesses a school shooting near her home, she turns to her telescope for comfort—and accidentally captures something impossible: a strange light moving across the Moon’s surface. Her discovery sets off a chain of events that reach from her small backyard to the highest levels of space exploration—and possibly, far beyond humanity’s understanding.
As Paul investigates his daughter’s mysterious video from orbit, strange things begin to unfold—objects appear near the Moon, communication becomes cryptic, and soon Paul encounters an otherworldly intelligence that challenges everything he knows about life and purpose. While most sci-fi stories chase fear or conquest, this book seeks understanding. It dares to imagine what might happen if an advanced species, one untouched by violence, reached out not to dominate us—but to teach us peace. That concept alone sets this book apart in a genre often obsessed with war and apocalypse.
Tom Skore’s “Tranquility Moon” isn’t just a sci-fi adventure—it’s a mirror held up to our society. It asks hard questions about why we hurt each other, and whether our greatest evolution might be emotional, not technological. It’s for readers who love Contact, Interstellar, or Arrival, but crave something with more heart and hope. By the time you turn the last page, you won’t just be looking up at the Moon—you’ll be wondering if somewhere in that vast silence, someone is looking back and waiting for us to finally quiet our wars and listen.
With its focus on international business, professional networking, and the expansion of Spanish-language publishing into European and Latin American markets, LIBER provides a setting where these connections can take shape.
