Moonrise
Ben Bova · 2 novels · 1996–1997
Ben Bova's Moonrise and Moonwar are near-future SF novels in his Grand Tour sequence, set at the fragile lunar colony Moonbase as Earth-side politics and corporate rivalries threaten to shut it down. Moonrise follows the colony through its precarious founding years, and Moonwar escalates the conflict into Moonbase's fight to declare independence from Earth. Both books foreground the practical, survival-driven politics of an early lunar settlement over deep-space adventure.
