Ben Bova’s extraordinary Moonbase Saga continues with a breathtaking near-future adventure rich in character and incident. Seven years after the indomitable Doug Stavenger has realized his cherished dream of establishing a colony on the inhospitable lunar surface, Moonbase is a thriving community, a marvel of scientific achievement created and supported by nanotechnology: virus-sized machines that can build, cure, and destroy. But nanotechnology has been declared illegal by the home planet’s leaders, and a powerful despot is determined to lay claim to Stavenger’s peaceful city—or obliterate it, if necessary. The people of Moonbase, a colony with no arms or military, must now defend themselves from earthborn aggression with the only weapon at their disposal: the astonishing technology that sustains their endangered home.

Critics' reviews
“Ranks up there with Mars as one of Bova’s very best.”
(St. Petersburg Times)“An exciting high-tech adventure…Spies, fanatics, sexy women, and broad expanses abound as technology and good planning overcome brute force and canny capitalists…Exciting and fun.”
(Publishers Weekly)“Veteran SF author Bova remains one of the genre’s best at creating suspense-filled high-tech dramas…[A] top-notch story.”
(Library Journal)“With plenty of action and formidably effective suspense, Moonwar can be considered one of Bova’s best.”
(Booklist)“Bova slams right into the action in this declaration-of-independence sequel…Rousing, inventive, persuasively knotty, with loads of tension and excitement.”
(Kirkus Reviews)“Smarmy politicians, beautiful TV babes, calculating corporate barons—it’s like Washington in the space age, with nonstop action and cool technology.”
