When Moonbse is threatened with closure by technology-hating factions on Earth, its leader Douglas Stavenger – who cannot return to Earth except to die – vows to save the colony which has been his life’s work and his father’s dream. But if Moonbase uses violence to defend itself, their cause will be lost as surely as if it were destroyed.
Only an audacious, nearly impossible combination of military defence and political wisdom can save them.

Reviews
The science fiction author who will have the greatest effect on the world.
A masterful storyteller
Fun, thought-provoking, pacy and stylish . . . Gives a good read while turning your eyes to what might be in the not so distant future, just like Clarke and Asimov used to do so well.
A splendid book . . . of his many books, Mars must be the most important.
Vivid, poetic and wonder-provoking.
