"This is the Colony. The better your ideas, the more people want
you dead."
After 400 years of colonization, the moon is home to nearly a
billion people living in a crowded, stagnant and steeply stratified
industrial police state on the verge of collapse for nearly a
century.
But underneath the rigid, totalitarian grasp of the Colonial
Authority, it's also home to the vibrant, ambitious, diverse and
irrepressibly competitive indigenous population of the Moonborn,
for whom life is a constant struggle for survival under the often
cruel, sometimes insane, and generally shortsighted and misguided
CA administration.
At the collapse of this society, the life of Sanjit Ramirez, truck
driver, will intersect with those of the Sister Doctor, racked with
guilt over causing an accidental genocide, and her adolescent
android assistant, who hates her for it; Demetrius Wei, a
genetically engineered genius with Oppositional Defiance Disorder
and a catastrophic grudge; Sanjit's ex-girlfriend Naeemah, a
pinup-queen-turned-avenging-cyborg-army; and Sel, a teenaged
Moonborn musician who, whether she likes it or not, may be the
catalyst that changes the course of humanity.
Andrew Biscontini's NU LUNA is a deeply personal matinee
space-adventure deftly spun through a vividly imagined, improbably
plausible future history in which tyranny, no matter how
technologically advanced, cannot suppress the decisions of
individuals to do the right thing.
The future is beautiful and dangerous.
