Luna by McDonald is the only one of these books I’ve heard of before now, and one I’ve been meaning to buy and read. However, I’m worried the story is only about imaginary politics and not the details of what it takes to build a self-sustaining society on the moon, which is what I’d like to read about. Does anyone know?
Luna is mostly politics, but it is marvolus backstabing politics :). There is some colony building aspects to the book, but the book is not about the first generation of settelers. I really loved this book.
I just started to read Mother of Eden, i have been dreading this book, i read Dark Eden, and found it interesting but disturbing. I need closure 😉 and i kind of like when a story can disturb me.
