Praise for Luna: Wolf Moon
Spare, simple, elegant when he needs to be...deep and meaty when he
wants to be...[Mcdonald] does his work like an artisan pulling a
sculpture from stone. --NPR Each of McDonald's viewpoint characters
is made human in fascinating and occasionally disturbing detail,
and the solar system of the 22nd century is wonderfully delineated.
--Publishers Weekly, starred review The fights and vengeance that
follow are more vicious and intricate than anything in Game of
Thrones, full of great acts of self-sacrifice and viciousness
alike, brave cavalry charges and last stands, cowardice and
avarice. --Boing Boing
For all the enjoyable intrigue he concocts, McDonald never lets us
forget that the Moon is a frontier that basically just wants to
kill us. --Chicago Tribune Praise for Luna: New Moon "McDonald's
never written a bad novel, but [Luna: New Moon] is a great one."
--Cory Doctorow With an action narrative driving this political
commentary, Luna is actually a fantastically fun read as well as an
important one. --Los Angeles Review of Books
"McDonald creates a complex and fascinating civilization featuring
believable technology, and the characters are fully developed, with
individually gripping stories." --Publishers Weekly, starred review
An engaging thriller... McDonald's portrait of a cutthroat society
trying to survive in the deadliest of environments also make it one
of the strongest science fiction novels of the year. --The Chicago
Tribune It's a great scenario, lovingly detailed, and curiously
attractive despite its current of unforgiving violence. --The Wall
Street Journal The best moon novel I've seen in many years. . .
McDon-ald's novel has some formidable SF stingers not far beneath
its densely textured surface. --Locus The story is innovative and
fresh...has a feel of The Godfather meets A Song of Ice and Fire
meets Ender's Game. --Portland Book Review
