The Moon's Shadow

The Moon's Shadow is a cracking novel by Catherine Asaro. The saga of the Skolian Empire, an epic series of books that includes her 2001 Nebula Award-winning novel The Quantum Rose. In The Moon's Shadow, she presents a complex plot filled with intrigue and dramatic confrontations as she continues the story of the conflict between the Skolians and their enemies, the interstellar empire of Eube, ruled by Aristos, a human offshoot whose economy and culture is rooted in the trading of slaves. TheTamshee says: the Moon's Shadow is top notch sci-fi novel with a level of realism that makes it closer to fantasy than to sci-fi.
