Rating: ![4 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-4-0.gif) Summary: Lots of Back stabing and the "New Morality" madness here. Review: Nano Machines and intrigue are all in this book. The Dream of a man
and his Son to build a future that people seeking freedom
can build on. The Moon, only 3 light seconds away, so big in our
sky. Elbow room to build on. But, will a short sighted Corporation
shut it all down? Or will the United Nations and the latest
scourge of the Bible Right called the New Morality shut the Base
down? Nano machines might just be the best way for humans to
get rid of old man Death, if the Bible Thumpers don't ruin it all.
A worthy buy worth your money. I hope Mr Bova will continue with this
book.

Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: Read It! Twice. Review: This book is amazing if you like science fiction, and even if you don't. Bova is imaginative and either has done extensive research or knows exactly what he is talking about. The characters are not one sided and undevloped as in many sci-fi books. Bova mixes a compelling story, great near future sci-fi, and a great and unique wiritng style together for an unparalled science fiction novel different from any I've ever read.
Rating: ![4 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-4-0.gif) Summary: Amazing Review: This book was excellent, I couldn't put it down. I'm in the middle of reading the sequel, which I am thus far unable to put down as well. I was amazed at the end of this book and found myself disappointed that I'd finished it, because that meant I wasn't reading it anymore. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 was I thought the characterization could be a little better. I tried really hard to like Paul Stavenger, I really did, but I just didn't find his character to be all that sympathetic. I liked him just fine until he cheated on his wife with Melissa and it all went downhill from there. Doug was more sympathetic than Paul, but he really had the opposite problem. Paul was at least real to me, even if I didnt like his personal life. Doug is a great guy and all, but jeez, give this guy some flaws already! No one is THAT perfect. But despite the character issues, it was still a wonderful book.
Rating: ![3 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-3-0.gif) Summary: Readable yarn from the Arthur Hailey school of sci-fi Review: This has made-for-TV stamped all over it; Politics, a family dynasty with sibling rivalry, clear-cut heroes and villains all wrapped up in a huge dose of political correctness. The plot does rattle along at a fair old pace though and I had no trouble finishing the book. If however you prefer your sci-fi to be on a grander scale and more visionary (Iain Banks for example) , you will probably find this rather tame. On the whole not bad (and much better than the sequel Moonwar), but not a classic.
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: Great story that shows how technology can improve the future Review: This is a must read if you prefer hard science fiction - that is to say - believeable science fiction. No super plasma guns here, just great visualization of where present technological developments might lead if we have the foresight to pursue them. All this technology is presented so that the layman can get a good feel for what it is all about and the whole is wrapped up in an entertaining and compelling story. A good read - and you'll learn a thing or two also. Highly recommeded.
Rating: ![4 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-4-0.gif) Summary: The Moon In Conflict Review: This novel is mainly about what hate and greed can do to the soul. Greg Masterson leads a painful life full of anger, hate and greed which ultimately leads him to kill himself while trying to destroy all those around him.The story line involving the moon and moonbase is exciting. The possibilites that the moon and all space exploration provide are astounding. This is a very interesting and good book, but be ready for a slow read.
