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