Luna: Wolf Moon by Ian McDonald

The novel “Luna: Wolf Moon” by Ian McDonald was published for the first time in 2017. It’s the second novel in the Luna series and follows “Luna: New Moon”.

After the attack to Corta Helio the other families that rule the Moon try to grab their assets. Some members of the Corta family survived while officially Lucas Corta died. The situation has greatly altered the balance of power on the Moon and all factions try to gain any advantage over their enemies.

Every significant event, especially if violent, helps to make the relationships among the various factions more complex and understanding who are the friends and who the enemies becomes more difficult. In a place where the the strongest make the rules, any weakness is exploited by some enemy and an instability can have a series of unexpected and unpredictable repercussions.
