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.

That ending..
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.

A gripping tale
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.

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

Awful
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.

Old school sci fi
If you like your SF old school dynastic with clan battles and an artifice of hard science, this is your book (and probably trilogy). For me though, it was too muscular with no room for the female characters to be much more than male ideals of particular kinds of women, most of whom don’t exist in the current real world and most likely wouldn’t in this one either. The hard science was, to my mind, mostly expositional, serving to tell us how sci the fi actually was, even when much of it was normal to that world. In the same way I don’t expect a wordy account of how my iPad works, I don’t want paragraphs of description relating the regular tech and events of this one. Show me, yes; but don’t dump spurious details on me, it interrupts the flow.
The story arc led predictably, given the masculinity of it all, to a battle, but by that time I had insufficient interest to be invested in the outcome.
To be fair, it was written in 2015, but for me it doesn’t come close to Asimov at his best, and it is totally put in the shade by the likes of Elizabeth Moon’s Heris Serrano and Vatta’s War series. I have abandoned the rest of the Luna trilogy.
