Ian McDonald’s latest, still unpublished novel Luna: New Moon is getting the TV show treatment at CBS.

Looks like we have a new subject for our Hype Podcast book club: CBS has nabbed the rights to Luna: New Moon, a novel which hasn’t even been published yet.

Written by established British author Ian McDonald, New Moon is the first novel in a planned series set on a colonized moon in the not-so-distant future of the 22nd century.

There are no traditional laws on the moon, so in the true style of human nature, we resort to clan wars: the novel follows five warring families who are battling for control of the hostile planet.

The official synopsis reads:

The Moon wants to kill you. Whether it’s being unable to pay your per diem for your allotted food, water, and air, or you just get caught up in a fight between the Moon’s ruling corporations, the Five Dragons. You must fight for every inch you want to gain in the Moon’s near feudal society. And that is just what Adriana Corta did.

As the leader of the Moon’s newest “dragon,” Adriana has wrested control of the Moon’s Helium-3 industry from the Mackenzie Metal corporation and fought to earn her family’s new status. Now, at the twilight of her life, Adriana finds her corporation, Corta Helio, surrounded by the many enemies she made during her meteoric rise. If the Corta family is to survive, Adriana’s five children must defend their mother’s empire from her many enemies… and each other.

From BoingBoing‘s review: “McDonald’s moon is omnisexual, kinky, violent, passionate, beautiful, awful, vibrant and crushing. As the family saga of the Cortas unravels, we meet a self-sexual ninja lawyer, a werewolf who loses his mind in the Full Earth, a family tyrant whose ruthlessness is matched only by his crepulance, and a panoply of great passions and low desires.”

Ian McDonald’s previous works include Brasyl and The Dervish House, both Hugo Award nominees. It’s no wonder that CBS wants to snag up this exciting new series, which sounds to us like a reverse The 100 with some The Martian mixed in. We’re on board!

Luna: New Moon hits stores on September 22, 2015.
