Steven Fritz’s Reviews > Moonrising > Status Update

Thoughtful and exciting science fiction with compelling characters. Set about fifty years from now, Moonrising describes the successful expansion of a tiny toehold colony on the moon thanks to a mixture of science, entertainment, and politics. This is the first novel, in my experience, to feature an action agronomist as the heroic leading character. The story highlights the best in people - and the worst. The plot is totally plausible from a scientific perspective while featuring a variety of characters displaying a array of very human strengths and foibles. I loved it!
