Luna: Wolf Moon

By Ian McDonald
Luna: Wolf Moon by Ian McDonald digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

A Dragon is dead.

Corta Helio, one of the five family corporations that rule the Moon, has fallen. Its riches are divided up among its many enemies, its survivors scattered. Eighteen months have passed .

The remaining Helio children, Lucasinho and Luna, are under the protection of the powerful Asamoahs, while Robson, still reeling from witnessing his parent’s violent deaths, is now a ward--virtually a hostage-- of Mackenzie Metals. And the last appointed heir, Lucas, has vanished of the surface of the moon.

Only Lady Sun, dowager of Taiyang, suspects that Lucas Corta is not dead, and more to the point—that he is still a major player in the game. After all, Lucas always was the Schemer, and even in death, he would go to any lengths to take back everything and build a new Corta Helio, more powerful than before. But Corta Helio needs allies, and to find them, the fleeing son undertakes an audacious, impossible journey--to Earth.

In an unstable lunar environment, the shifting loyalties and political machinations of each family reach the zenith of their most fertile plots as outright war erupts.

Luna: Wolf Moon continues Ian McDonald's saga of the Five Dragons.

“Un libro (en mi opinión) para nada memorable Es una lectura muy lenta y las ganas de seguir leyendo se me fueron super rápido. Perdí bastante tiempo con este libro y no es la obra maestra que se ha dicho que es. Me molestó que son muchos personajes y cuesta recordar a cada uno de ellos y el desarrollo tan austero que estos tienen. No llegamos a conocerlos como se debería y cuando . Ni siquiera todas las historias y confesiones de Adriana lograron que me conmoviera lo suficiente. No hay otra forma de decirlo mas que "Los personajes son super planos" Otro defecto que encuentro es que hay cambios de lugar de forma muy constante y como no se especifica, eso causa confusión. Hay que mencionar también que la trama avanza super lento por esto mismo y hasta cierto punto se torna insoportable. Hay que aclarar que la “acción” comienza después de la página 100. Todo lo que se dice antes de esa página es puro contexto y si acaso algo de emoción en el intento de asesinato a Rafa Corta. Este libro no me ha dado razones para continuar con los dos libros que le siguen. Creo que el problema radica en que McDonald quiso contar mucho en tan pocas páginas. 400 y tantas páginas que tiene esta edición donde se trata de contar una historia que envuelve a 5 familias y los problemas que conlleva vivir en la luna no son suficientes. Adicionando que los 11 capítulos (leí el libro en mi iPad y no sé si sea exactamente igual al físico) se dedican dos o tres a Adriana Corta cuando ni siquiera es la personaje principal. Todas las explicaciones, amoríos, experiencias, etc, no son suficientes para poder entenderla al 100. Es catalogado como el Juego de Tronos del espacio y aunque la temática es un poco parecida, no hay nada que me haga querer seguir leyendo los libros.”

About Ian McDonald

Ian McDonald was born in 1960 in Manchester, England, to an Irish mother and a Scottish father. He moved with his family to Northern Ireland in 1965. He used to live in a house built in the back garden of C. S. Lewis’s childhood home but has since moved to central Belfast, where he now lives, exploring interests like cats, contemplative religion, bonsai, bicycles, and comic-book collecting. He debuted in 1982 with the short story “The Island of the Dead” in the short-lived British magazine Extro. His first novel, Desolation Road, was published in 1988. Other works include King of Morning, Queen of Day (winner of the Philip K. Dick Award), River of Gods, The Dervish House (both of which won British Science Fiction Association Awards), the graphic novel Kling Klang Klatch, and many more. His most recent publications are Planesrunner and Be My Enemy, books one and two of the Everness series for younger readers (though older readers will find them a ball of fun, as well). Ian worked in television development for sixteen years, but is glad to be back to writing fulltime.
