This book was written in the 1970's with a projection of what it would be like at the millenium. Keeping that in mind the book creates a future where there is a colony on the moon divided between the United States and the Soviet Union due to the Cold War still existing, but a much more relaxed relationship on the moon base. China is still a wanna be super power and overt sexism is still very prevalent in the relationships between men and women. The moon base declares its independence due to increasing tension between the two super powers and the increasingly unliveable environment of the Earth. It takes a while for this book to find its footing, but once it does it moves along at a breezy pace.

If you are a fan of Ben Bova or early science fiction thrillers, you will find this a serviceable read.

I received a free Kindle copy of Millennium by Ben Bova courtesy of Net Galley  and Endeavor Press, the publisher. It was with the understanding that I would post a review on Net Galley, Goodreads, Amazon and my fiction book review blog. I also posted it to my Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google Plus pages.

I requested this book as I am a fan of the author and have read several of his other books.
