About this listen

Corta Hélio, 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 Hélio children, Lucasinho and Luna, are under the protection of the powerful Asamoahs, while Robson, still reeling from witnessing his parents' violent deaths, is now a ward - virtually a hostage - of Mackenzie Metals. And the last appointed heir, Lucas, has vanished from the surface of the moon. Only Lady Sun, dowager of Taiyang, suspects that Lucas Corta is not dead - and 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 Hélio, more powerful than before.

But Corta Hélio 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.

High quality prose and the narrator, although different from the first book is good once you get used to the change.

Great book and narration

I just loved it. Best story about life on the moon since Heinlein’s “The moon is a harsh mistress”. Completely different, time has moved on , but a great “sense of wonder “ common to classic sci-fi.
This is second in the series, awaiting the third.
Nice work, Ian, thanks very much.

Great follow up to the first installment - a properly interesting future world.

Narration could have done with slightly longer pauses between sections better to indicate changes in scene. Given the iconic diversity of the five families, bit of a shame they didnt each have more distinctive accents - though most were 3rd Gen I suppose and better no accents from the narrator than bad ones.

Immersive and original

Rather underwhelming, really. The change of narrator didn't help as he wasn't any better than the previous one, although at least the first one could pronounce Portuguese well. The content of this book was a lot of padding and could have been incorporated into extra chapters in the first and final novels.

Meh.
