  • How does this book connect to Ian McDonald's other works?

    Luna T1 is the first book in the 'Luna' series, which is distinct from McDonald's other acclaimed science fiction works like 'River of Gods' or 'Brasyl.' It explores a unique future history focused entirely on lunar colonization and its political landscape.

  • What makes the 'Dragons' unique in this book?
