MOON POLITICS,
By A Customer
This review is from: Millennium (Hardcover)
I read this book many years ago and remember it as one of the best SF novels I ever read and I am actually disappointed that I can not find a copy even in the US! Anyway... I do not remember much of the plot: some kind of political fight between Earth and Moon colonies, the leader of the people of the Moon coming down to Earth trying to live in peace with the people of Earth and so on... It pre-dates a lot of similar plots: just think of all the Gundam series where the space colonies figth with the Earth alliances! And it adds that sort of "Rocky IV" feeling (do you remember Stallone winning in USSR and the sovietic politicians applauding? ), but this time the outsiders are the good ones. But "Millennium" is neither violent nor that retoric. More than this, it is well thought and realistic, at least about what concerns biological phenomena: e.g., when the Moon leader comes to Earth, it needs a complicated series of mechanical body-aids to stand Earth gravity. However well written, it suffers from the usual classical SF sindrome: we are living in the year 2000 and nothing of what is foretold in the book happened (but a lot of books of the time have the same problem, like Orwell's "1984" or the "Future History" series by Heilein).
