Moonwar

Seven years after the remarkable Stavenger family made Moonbase a reality, a substantial community lives, labors and flourishes under the leadership of Doug Stavenger, thanks to the wonders of nanotechnology - virus-size machines that can build, refine, cure, create...and destroy. But the science that sustains and supports the young off-Earth colony has been declared illegal and immoral by the home planet's rulers. And one man with the power to dictate policy is launching war's madness across the heavens - determined to lay claim to Stavenger's peaceful city or obliterate it if necessary - forcing an isolated society with no arms or military to defend itself with nothing but ingenuity and the tools that built and maintain the settlement.
