 "Moon of Mutiny" is a loosely related finale in a trilogy called the "Jim Stanley Series".The botched Moon landing referred to in the novel actually occurs in the prior book in the series "Mission to the Moon" which features a main character who does not appear in "Moon of Mutiny".The story tends towards Hard science fiction in its use of contemporary technology and scientific concepts, and even includes a foreword by del Rey giving some factual scientific background on the Moon.
