Book Overview
Ben Bova's extraordinary Moonbase Saga continues with a breathtaking near-future adventure rich in character and incident. The action begins seven years after the indomitable Stavenger family has realized its cherished dream of establishing a colony on the inhospitable lunar surface. Moonbase is now a thriving community under the leadership of Doug Stavenger, a marvel of scientific ahievement created and supported by nanotechnology: virus-size machines that can build, cure, and destroy. But nanotechnology has been declared illegal by the home planet's leaders. And a powerful despot is determined to lay claim to Stavenger's peaceful city...or obliterate it, if necessary. The people of Moonbase--a colony with no arms or military--must now defend themselves from earth-born aggression with the only weapon at their disposal: the astonishing technology that sustains their endangered home.

Moonwar is by far one of the best SF books I have ever read. It was even better than Moonrise.... A great plot and action throughout the book.I would definately recommend this book to any sci-fi fan!
Best of the 'real' space novels in a long time!

Bova does it again! Not content to rest on his laurels for the finishing books on this series, he has built a web of characterization that leads the reader into the world of the plot. Can't wait for the next one!

This second novel in Bova's Moonbase saga is great. Very well written with some unexpected twists. If you are a Ben bova fan you don't want to miss this one.
MOONWAR is a real trip!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Yes, boys and girls, MOONWAR is truly excellent. A satisfying and believable cast of characters and intrigue -- not to mention seat-gripping suspense and action! Ben Bova is truly a master storyteller in the SF arena. And he respects his readers enough to present really likeable heros and keeps them (well, most of them) alive for the ending credits. A salutary attribute, sadly, that he shares with few other writers these days. I can't wait for another installment of this saga. But I'll have to content myself with reading MOONRISE next, as I read MOONWAR before reading this first volume in Ben's outstanding MOONBASE series.
