The Menace from Farside

Description

Remember: Lady Luna knows a thousand ways to kill you, but family is what you know. Family is what works. Cariad Corcoran has a new sister who is everything she is not: tall, beautiful, confident. They're unlikely allies and even unlikelier sisters, but they're determined to find the moon's first footprint, even if the lunar frontier is doing its best to kill them before they get there.

He is the author of Luna: New Moon and Luna: Wolf Moon. He has won the Locus Award, the British Science Fiction Association Award, and the John W. Campbell Memorial Award. He now lives in Belfast.

Praise for Ian McDonald's Luna series "McDonald's never written a bad novel, but Luna: New Moon is a great one."--Cory Doctorow With an action narrative driving this political commentary, Luna is actually a fantastically fun read as well as an important one. --Los Angeles Review of Books "McDonald creates a complex and fascinating civilization featuring believable technology, and the characters are fully developed, with individually gripping stories."--Publishers Weekly, starred review
