Luna: New Moon

Luna: New Moon - Ian McDonald Bit of a slog, this. A good example of “great concept, shame about the story”. Takes its sweet time getting going too. Not interested in Lucasinho’s partying habits, Ariel’s sex room, Adriana’s pretty easy ascent to power. Zero humour, too. This has been described (by its author) as “Game Of Thrones…In Space”. “Howard’s Way” had more drama, notwithstanding the cliffhanger ending. Missed opportunity.
