Logan gasped. He needed to be in contact with the wrist remote when the program ended or … I don’t even know what will happen to me!
Twelve-year-old Logan lives inside the Luna Biodome on the moon. Not only is the moon dust making him sick, it also sets him apart from the other kids. While Logan is inside his new robot’s interactive program, his illness disappears and mysteries occur that he can’t explain.
Logan meets an annoying yet undeletable program character named Amy. Their misadventures awaken him to a glitch – a secret that could return him to Earth to track down his missing mother. But only if Amy will cooperate before the moon’s lockdown and before the robot destroys him.

Reviews
“Cosmic Chaos was an awesome book! It had a bunch of exciting parts and was hard to stop reading! I liked it because it was about the future and space, two very interesting subjects. It was a very exciting adventure, and the main character Logan, was really cool. I would recommend this ultra-cosmic book to kids who love action-packed space adventures.” -Lincoln, Amazon review (5 star review)
“This book is a great read, with a blend of family love, science fiction, robotics, space colonies, misunderstandings and humor. While it contains a few Christian characters, this would not be classed as a “Christian Book”. Enjoyable adventure with a plucky hero. Appealing to adults as well as children.” -Christopher, Amazon Review (5 star review)
“A real page turner, you won’t want to quit reading until you’ve finished. Fun and interesting characters and quite imaginative.” -Deanna, Amazon Review (5 star review)
“When I first read this book, I was huddled under the covers of my bed with a flashlight way past midnight. It captivated me in such a wonderful way. It’s a book I keep coming back to, even though I’ve graduated high school. I reread it again and again and I’m swept back to that first read in the dark of my room where nothing else existed but a little boy named Logan and his exciting adventures.” -Kylie, Amazon review (5 star review)
“…Dinosaurs, the garden of Eden, science and Christianity walk side-by-side in the background of this fascinating tale of Cosmic Chaos. …If young readers are looking for a touching story with a bit of time travel, I highly recommend CM Shelton’s Cosmic Chaos.” -Dr. Janelle Alex, Ph.D., Authors Talk About It reviewer (5 star review)
“…Buy Cosmic Chaos. If you like great characters and good adventures, you won’t regret reading it yourself. But the best thing you can do is give it to a smart young person. You might change their world.” -Ray Simmons, Reader’s Favorite book reviewer (5 star review)
