Secular Book Club - April 2026 - Moonbound: A Novel

CFI WNY Secular Book Club's next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, April 22, 2026. This quarter's selection will be fiction.
We will be reading Moonbound: A Novel, by Robin Sloan
About the Book:
It is eleven thousand years from now. A lot has happened, and yet a lot is still very familiar. Ariel is a boy in a remote village under a wizard’s rule. Like many adventurers before him, Ariel is called to explore a world full of eye-popping discoveries and challenges: unknown enemies, a mission to rescue the world, a girl. Here, as they say, be dragons. But none of this happens before Ariel encounters an entity from an earlier civilization, a sentient, sensitive artificial intelligence with a special perspective on all of human history―who becomes both Ariel’s greatest ally . . . and our narrator.

Moonbound is an adventure into the richest depths of Story itself from the creator of the Penumbraverse, Robin Sloan. It is a deeply satisfying epic of ancient scale, blasted through the imaginative prism of one of our most forward-thinking writers. And this is only the beginning.
