Ben Bova has written an excellent sequel to Moonrise. And not just an all out shoot-em-up action thriller. He has expanded upon his scientific blueprint for a lunar colony while holding the reader's attention and taking them on an exciting adventure. Douglas Stavenger has watched his fledgling lunar community prosper over the past seven years. It is nearly self sufficient, thanks to nanotechnology, machines so small they can't be seen by the naked eye yet they perform many of the costly and dangerous tasks on Moonbase. Despite its benefits, the nations of Earth have outlawed nanotechnology, and the leadership of the United Nations has demanded Moonbase give up nanotechology. Douglas refuses. He is fitted with nanobugs after a near disaster at the lunar pole. Instead, Douglas declares independence for Moonbase. Tensions rise and after a botched raid by U.N. forces, Earth and Moonbase are brought to the brink of war. Once again Ben Bova combines cutting edge technology and the latest scientific discoveries with wonderfully drawn characters and made a dynamite novel. Whether it's genetic, virtual reality, lunar or martian exploration Mr. Bova writes with authority and expertise. Moonrise is now out in paperback and Moonwar make a powerful one-two punch from Avon Eos. Read these books!
