Happy Publication Day to Luna: Wolf Moon!

It’s publication day and we’ve got an outta-this-world book for you. The sequel to what was described as ‘Game of Thrones on the moon’, this book is a must-have!

Luna: Wolf Moon by Ian McDonald

The BSFA and Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning author returns with the second part of his stunning moon colonisation epic, perfect for fans of The Martian and Red Mars.

Corta Helio, one of the five family corporations that rule the Moon,  has fallen. Its riches are divided up among its many enemies, its  survivors scattered. Eighteen months have passed.

The remaining Helio children, Lucasinho and Luna, are under the  protection of the powerful Asamoahs, while Robson, still reeling from  witnessing his parent’s violent deaths, is now a ward – virtually a  hostage – of Mackenzie Metals. And the last appointed heir, Lucas, has  vanished from the surface of the moon.

Only Lady Sun, dowager of Taiyang, suspects that Lucas Corta is not  dead, and – more to the point – that he is still a major player in the game.  After all, Lucas always was a schemer, and even in death, he would go  to any lengths to take back everything and build a new Corta Helio,  more powerful than before. But Corta Helio needs allies, and to find  them, the fleeing son undertakes an audacious, impossible journey – to  Earth.

In an unstable lunar environment, the shifting loyalties and  political machinations of each family reach the zenith of their most  fertile plots as outright war between the families erupts.

‘There’s a lot of intrigue, some violence, rather  more sex – healthily polymorphous and energetic, this – and all the  pleasures of a cut-throat soap opera in space: a sort of Moon-Dome  Dallas’ Guardian

‘I will read anything that man writes-he is the most underappreciated genius working in the field today’ Cory Doctorow

‘Provocative, gripping and prancingly adult, it’s a  stunning example of how good science-fiction can be, and proof that  McDonald is one of the best writers currently working in the genre’ SFX

Luna: Wolf Moon is available now in trade paperback and ebook.
