In the shadow of its economically developing moon with an enviable socially liberal culture, the Earth appears like a relic, ravaged by climate change, pandemics, and energy insecurity. However, the Luna trilogy stands out as the most attuned to our precarious age by yoking the libertarian moonbase narrative of yesteryear to the issues that pervade our present and strangle our future: debt, finance, AI-assisted surveillance capitalism, anthropogenic climate change, and energy futures. Moon colonization narratives seem to be in vogue again, with Kim Stanley Robinson ( Red Moon), Andy Weir ( Artemis), and John Kessel ( The Moon and the Other) recently adding their spins to the subgenre. So, to that end, before going any further, I should note that Moon Rising shouldn’t and really can’t be read as a stand-alone novel, and I’ll make no effort to avoid spoilers from the previous installments. Previous series have either gone unfinished (Chaga and Everness) or weren’t really series at all, so much as narratives set in the same world ( Desolation Road and Ares Express). Completing a tightly plotted series like this is a surprisingly new accomplishment for an SF writer who has been working as long as McDonald.

'McDonald is one of the best world builders I've ever read' - Tamora Pierce Readers are being swept away by LUNA: NEW MOON: ' It's a great epic read. This is SF that will be perfect for fans of Kim Stanley Robinson and Ken Macleod alike. Following the fortunes of a handful of disparate characters, from one of the lowliest workers on the moon to the heads of one of the most powerful families, LUNA provides a vast mosaic of life on this airless and terrifying new home for humanity. It's very easy to die on the moon, but with its vast mineral wealth it's also easy to make your fortune. Luna is a gripping thriller about five corporate families caught in a bitter battle for supremacy in the harsh environment of the moon.
