This mini-site serves as companion to Moonbound, the new novel by Robin Sloan, published by MCD×FSG.

Welcome to the Dragon Moon

Cover by the best in the biz, Na Kim

My new novel, titled Moonbound, is available now. It’s a rollicking adventure in the tradition of C. S. Lewis and Ursula K. Le Guin, appro­priate for preco­cious young readers and voracious genre veterans alike.

You can get your copy wherever books are sold. Allow me to suggest Barnes & Noble.

Moonbound is published in the U.S. by my longtime collab­o­ra­tors at MCD×FSG.

Apple Books says:

Thoughtful, often hilarious, and genuinely exciting, Moonbound reminds us of the work of J. R. R. Tolkien, but with Terry Pratchett’s sense of humor.

The brilliant Cory Doctorow says:

This is doing fiction in hard mode, and Sloan nails it.
