Luna: New Moon is a family drama about essentially mafia on the moon. It takes place after the moon has been colonized by humans, and a society dominated by five crime families/corporations has been established. The five families represent interesting selection of different Earth cultures, with the main focus on a family originating from Brazil. For me, the history of the colonization of the moon, as related through the matriarch Adriana Corta's life story, was the most fascinating part of the novel. I was less into the family squabbles that engaged the younger generations of Cortas, which took up the bulk of the novel. The story didn't seem to have much focus in the beginning, but it did eventually culminate in an exciting conflict between families. I think this is ultimately not the series for me, but it has a lot to offer readers who have more interest in organized crime stories and family dramas.
