Praise for Luna: New Moon

"McDonald's never written a bad novel, but [Luna: New Moon] is a great one." --Cory Doctorow

With an action narrative driving this political commentary, Luna is actually a fantastically fun read as well as an important one. --Los Angeles Review of Books

"McDonald creates a complex and fascinating civilization featuring believable technology, and the characters are fully developed, with individually gripping stories." --Publishers Weekly, starred review

An engaging thriller... McDonald's portrait of a cutthroat society trying to survive in the deadliest of environments also make it one of the strongest science fiction novels of the year. --The Chicago Tribune

It's a great scenario, lovingly detailed, and curiously attractive despite its current of unforgiving violence. --The Wall Street Journal

The best moon novel I've seen in many years. . . McDon-ald's novel has some formidable SF stingers not far beneath its densely textured surface. --Locus

The story is innovative and fresh...has a feel of The Godfather meets A Song of Ice and Firemeets Ender's Game. --Portland Book Review

Praise for Luna: Wolf Moon

Spare, simple, elegant when he needs to be...deep and meaty when he wants to be...[Mcdonald] does his work like an artisan pulling a sculpture from stone. --NPR

Each of McDonald's viewpoint characters is made human in fascinating and occasionally disturbing detail, and the solar system of the 22nd century is wonderfully delineated. --Publishers Weekly, starred review

The fights and vengeance that follow are more vicious and intricate than anything in Game of Thrones, full of great acts of self-sacrifice and viciousness alike, brave cavalry charges and last stands, cowardice and avarice. --Boing Boing

For all the enjoyable intrigue he concocts, McDonald never lets us forget that the Moon is a frontier that basically just wants to kill us. --Chicago Tribune
