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 Bookshop.

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.
