I enjoy Bova's books very much.
Moonrise for instance, or Millennium.
I think in Moonrise he mentions Mount Wasser as being the uppermost mountain of one of the moon's poles. I was fooled for a while thinking it really existed.

Well, there's another advantage having a moonbase: if we're deep enough underground, we'd be protected from solar radiations, cosmic rays, micrometeorites, extreme temperatures. And we'd be under one sixth of a gravity (instead of none at all) and already on the Moon.
It could also be a place where hazardous experiments can be conducted far away from our natural environment.
