A 21st century U.S. aerospace company has developed the first permanent human settlement on the Moon, made possible by major scientific breakthroughs, particularly in the practical use of nanotechnology (microscopic machines which can build structures on the moon using lunar raw materials as well as correct damage done to the human body by illness and injury.) But conflict within the company's founding family and growing protests against the technology from radical environmentalists and religious fundamentalists on Earth put Moonbase in danger of closure. Former astronaut and brilliant visionary Paul Stavenger must prevent the project from falling into the wrong hands as a power struggle leads to murder and the near destruction of Moonbase.

Critic reviews
"Bova's picture of life on the moon and the technology necessary to sustain it is highly believable." - ( Publishers Weekly)

Cant best a bit of Bova

The plot line is interesting but rather predictable and the characters somewhat stereotypical.
Mr Bova knows his science but his dialogue is carved from wood.
Still, interesting enough to maybe try the next in the series
Science fiction with the emphasis on science
