Luna: Wolf Moon by Ian McDonald (February 14, 2017 by Tor Books)
Of all the blurbs I’ve come across in recent years claiming to be “like Game of Thrones”, I have to admit Luna: New Moon came quite close – if you can imagine the Starks and Lannisters as two rival families with competing mining operations on the moon. The first book was like an epiphany; I loved it. That I’m looking forward to this sequel and conclusion (the series is just going to be a duology, I hear) is a massive understatement. I’m hoping Luna: Wolf Moon will be just as amazing.
“A Dragon is dead.
Corta Helio, one of the five family corporations that rule the Moon, has fallen. Its riches are divided up among its many enemies, its survivors scattered. Eighteen months have passed .
The remaining Helio children, Lucasinho and Luna, are under the protection of the powerful Asamoahs, while Robson, still reeling from witnessing his parent’s violent deaths, is now a ward–virtually a hostage– of Mackenzie Metals. And the last appointed heir, Lucas, has vanished of the surface of the moon.
Only Lady Sun, dowager of Taiyang, suspects that Lucas Corta is not dead, and more to the point—that he is still a major player in the game. After all, Lucas always was the Schemer, and even in death, he would go to any lengths to take back everything and build a new Corta Helio, more powerful than before. But Corta Helio needs allies, and to find them, the fleeing son undertakes an audacious, impossible journey–to Earth.
In an unstable lunar environment, the shifting loyalties and political machinations of each family reach the zenith of their most fertile plots as outright war erupts.
Luna: Wolf Moon continues Ian McDonald’s saga of the Five Dragons.”

I had no idea this is a duology! I haven’t read the first book yet but already have a copy. Was just waiting to read the books closer together. Glad to hear the wait isn’t as long as I thought.

I’m not 100% sure it’s a duology either, but most sources I’ve seen have said it’s only two books 🙂

This series sounds fantastic! I must have missed your review for the first one but I looked it up on GR and it got my attention for sure! Even though I’m embarrassingly late to the ASoIaF party, I’m still feeling really into these^^

If you ask me, nothing will ever be of the same caliber of ASoIaF – but I have to say I caught some major vibes with New Moon 😀

I placed myself an alert on the computer for this book, so I don’t forget to run (well… figuratively) to my go-to ebook seller and buy it on the day it becomes available 🙂
