Synopsis
Brigands of the Moon
A startling glimpse into the future--the year 2070. An intimate revelation of the world of our great-great-great grand-children. Told by the foremost pseudo-scientific writer of the day--Ray Cummings.
Greg Haljan--reliable, faithful, competent--is navigator of the space-flyer, Planetara. Because of these qualities and his experience he is not abandoned on a planetoid with the rest of the crew and passengers, by the Martian brigands who seize the ship in mid-space and head it toward the Moon, there to rob Johnny Grantline fo his precious radium ore.
Haljan, attempting to frustrate their plans, wrecks the Planetara in landing, killing most of the Martians but escaping uninjured himself. He immediately dashes to the Grant-line and his followers prepare to defend the radium--and their lives--with their pitifully inadequate weapons but their hopes are dashed to the ground when reinforcements from Mars, bearing death-dealing devices of the most ultra-modern type, arrive on the scene.
Here we have a glorious, imaginative story that sweeps us to new, strange and adventurous thoughts about our future world and its relations with the other planets, as well as a wholly new conception of what may lie beneath the surface of the Moon. Good to the last page!
