About this listen

The scions of a falling house must navigate a world of corporate warfare to maintain their family's status in the moon's vicious political atmosphere.

The moon wants to kill you - whether it's being unable to pay your per diem for your allotted food, water, and air or just getting caught up in a fight between the moon's ruling corporations, the Five Dragons. You must fight for every inch you want to gain in the moon's near-feudal society. And that is just what Adriana Corta did.

As the leader of the moon's newest "dragon", Adriana has wrested control of the moon's helium-3 industry from the Mackenzie Metal Corporation and fought to earn her family's new status. Now, at the twilight of her life, Adriana finds her corporation, Corta Helio, surrounded by the many enemies she made during her meteoric rise. If the Corta family is to survive, Adriana's five children must defend their mother's empire from her many enemies - and each other.

Good book. Just not my kind of Sci fi. It was more like a soap opera than a space opera.

Not been a fan of The authors previous works, so this novel was a pleasant surprise. Nice world building, a sprinkling of hi tech and a Godfather like plot (the 5 dragons act like the Mafia at times).

The story rather fizzles out towards the end.

Narration was spoilt by the male narrator mangling the Portuguese names and sound bored as he delivered the text.

That ending..

not happy with the ending, loads of questions still open, I'm guessing theirs going to be a sequel

What Ian does best. Hard science, a carefully crafted world, inhabited by real people. I enjoyed it from beginning to end, especially thanks to the skilled narration by what feels like a 20 person voice cast.

A gripping tale

What disappointed you about Luna?

The plot was not very clear and the build up is very complex. The ending also leaves so many questions.

What was most disappointing about Ian McDonald’s story?

A complicated and unclear story line, and a poor ending. I didn't find this engaging and drifted off from the story...perhaps why I found it unclear

What didn’t you like about the narrators’s performance?

A robotic performance that lacked emotion and drama, which left me feeling bored. I am surprised I made it to the end of the performance.

Awful
