Adult science fiction (not fantasy) with the main action taking place on the surface (or sub-surface) of the Moon. When written, books should use the best science and technology for the time. No children's books. If the book is a series or part of a series only include the first book of the series or the book with the lunar setting. (Don't bloat the list by listing every book in the series.)
Score
A book’s total score is based on multiple factors, including the number of people who have voted for it and how highly those voters ranked the book.
