Red Moon

by Chris Berman

2017: While America prepares for a return to the Moon in 2020, China lands a military expedition on the Moon’s South Pole and in defiance of UN treaties, seizes the subsurface lunar ice fields and claims the Moon’s resources as the property of the People’s Republic of China. African American President Cordelier Price, thrust into her role as commander in chief by an assassin’s bullet, must enlist the aid of discredited former NASA astronaut John McGovern to lead an international collation and stake a counter claim. McGovern however, finds he must share his command duties with beautiful Russian cosmonaut Natasha Polyakova, as they face traitors, saboteurs and the Chinese military that will stop at nothing to end their quest. As the coalition crew battles for their lives on the unforgiving surface of the Moon, China’s true sinister plans for global domination emerge, sending the world on a collision course toward nuclear war.

Not as good a Hive but still good. All about the battle for the moon and US vs China for the rights. He has one more that I may get.
