"The Moon wants to kill you. Whether it's being unable to pay your per diem for your allotted food, water, and air, or you just get 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"-- Provided by publisher.

Captivating submitted by Meginator on June 21, 2017, 9:08pm I loved this book, from start to finish. McDonald's vision of a flourishing lunar colony, with all of the scientific, social, and political nuances that come with it, is remarkably full and engaging. He has thought of almost everything, it seems, and usually comes up with a good way to convey that information to the reader without becoming didactic or showing off.

The story and characters are as compellig as the setting, as members of the Corta family juggle the Moon's complicated political alliances in an effort to thrive (and, later, survive) in an environment where the natural and manmade perils can both destroy you.

I loved this book from start to finish and heartily recommend it to fans of lunar fiction and political fiction. Even if you don't normally read science fiction, you might like this one.
