Red Moon
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
If you’re enthralled by the idea of commercial space travel, Red Moon will fuel those flames. Set in the near future on the first lunar colony—established by China—Kim Stanley Robinson’s latest novel imagines how geopolitics will affect the great beyond. The story follows three space travellers whose already-risky lives on the moon get even more complex thanks to secrets, lies and deadly crimes. Robinson’s meticulous descriptions and thought-provoking ideas about space colonisation’s ripple effects provide a gripping backdrop for Red Moon’s intrigue-filled plot.
