The Dark Side is an entertaining and realistic* Sci-Fi "crime story", brought to life through the eyes of the police lieutnant Justs and the optic sensors of a highly "evolved" android, both finding their own paths. I thoroughly enjoyed the mood the author builds up by his introductions of each chapter. Things are not easy or convenient as in many space sci-fi, but the phsyics of the moon have an impact in the story. The cast of people is diverse and seems facetted, if you only meet them for a short time or see the world through their eyes. For gamers I'd recommend thinking about the moon in Destiny, to have a great imagination of what the world O'Neill created might look like. *realistic as in is thinkable with the physical laws of our universe, the human condition and is well researched. Of course it is still a story. "Everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody." "Only a lunatic would live on the moon." "All they see is a standard that needs to be emulated. So clearly satire doesn't work." I thank NetGalley for the opportunity to be able to read this book in change for a review.
