Reviews

Luna: New Moon is a world that has been intricately woven together by its author. It's compelling and thought-provoking, and all without relying on overbearing sci-fi cliches. Brilliantly done. - Sci-Fi NowI will read anything that man writes-he is the most underappreciated genius working in the field today - Cory DoctorowProvocative, 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 - SFXLuna: New Moon is a world that has been intricately woven together by its author.
