Luna: New Moon by Ian McDonald
3.0

Game of Thrones on the Moon, The Godfather on the Moon, more like Dallas or Dynasty on the Moon.
I think the thing that annoyed me most about this book is, that the author felt the need to ramp up the action at the end of the book and leave the reader with a kind of cliffhanger.
It's clearly the first book in a series intended to hook you not with a great story but with where it ends. I'm predicting that the next book will start with "x amount of time later".
It's somewhat entertaining but nothing I would outright recommend. I won't read the next book in the series.
If you want to read great science fiction involving different families struggling for power pick up "Dune".
