Red Moon

Large Pre-loved Paperback

IT IS THIRTY YEARS FROM NOW, AND WE HAVE COLONISED THE MOON.

American Fred Fredericks is making his first trip, his purpose to install a communications system for China’s Lunar Science Foundation. But hours after his arrival he witnesses a murder and is forced into hiding.

It is also the first visit for celebrity travel reporter Ta Shu. He has contacts and influence, but he too will find that the moon can be a perilous place for any traveller.

Finally, there is Chan Qi. She is the daughter of the Minister of Finance, and without doubt a person of interest to those in power. She is on the moon for reasons of her own, but when she attempts to return to China in secret, the events that unfold will change everything – on the moon, and on Earth.

‘A masterpiece’ Times

‘Any new novel by the great Kim Stanley Robinson is always an event and Red Moon doesn’t disappoint’ Independent

‘Sci-fi fans will love the detail and the optimism about humanity’s future in space’ Wall Street Journal

‘Any new novel by the great Kim Stanley Robinson is always an event and Red Moon doesn’t disappoint.’ Independent

‘Even at 600-plus pages, there’s a leanness to the prose that keeps the plot moving forwards . . . Robinson handles setpieces with aplomb… A wise and big-hearted novel to read and then, straight away, read again.’ SFX

‘Another stellar effort from one of the masters of the genre.’ Booklist

‘It’s near impossible to capture the vibrance of the entire city in the span of one single novel, yet Kim Stanley Robinson manages to do just that and more.’ Newsweek

‘Like all great sci-fi, New York 2140 is as much inward-looking as it is forward- . . . Robinson’s work has a strong, intelligent social conscience.’ GQ

‘The lunar landscape is a source of beautifully described detail.’ Kirkus
