Gunpowder Moon by David Pedreira
3.0
A good standard thriller, with some twists and turns. And it's set on the moon. Is there really a war brewing between the Chinese and the Americans ON THE MOON? Who can you trust? NO ONE.
I personally kinda hate the "you can't trust people" theme in a story, but it was pretty much the driver of what was going on here. And the cover, with a space helmet with what looks like a bullet hole in it? Yes, that kinda sucked me in.
I thought the descriptions of life on the moon and the dangers inherent in that life were pretty well described in a hard-sf sort of way. Most of the characters were fairly generic. The pace was pretty good.
A perfectly cromulent thriller. 3 and a half stars.
