The Moon Men(Annotated Edition) by Edgar Rice Burroughs Pdf

Through the treason of a handful of men, contact between Earth & the Moon had become a nightmare. The world became the tool of the Lunarians, whose plundering and cruelty reduced thieving nations to poverty stricken wastelands. The Moon Men is the astounding story of that tragedy, & of the exploits of Julian, the human who dared fight for freedom. It's the story also of Red Hawk, Julian's descendant, the nomad who attempted to bring the struggle to its final desperate conclusion.

The First Men in the Moon by H. G. Wells Pdf

This is the annotated edition including the rare biographical essay by Edwin E. Slosson called "H. G. Wells - A Major Prophet Of His Time". The book is also fully illustrated with a wealth of beautiful drawings. There is probably no other living writer than the author of "The War of the Worlds" whose brain possesses that abnormal twist requisite to the production of such a story as "The First Men In the Moon." The conception of a planet peopled by a race of articulated creatures, gigantic insects, endowed with something akin to human intelligence, whose entire life is passed not upon the moon's surface, but miles below it. In chambers and passages hollowed out after the fashion of a colossal ant hill—all this described with that touch of verisimilitude which is the one thing which makes H. G. Wells readable, gives an uncanny, at times almost ghastly, effect that makes this moon story the most weird and striking of anything that he has written since the days of "The Time Machine." He takes us on endless rambles through these vast lunar caverns, lit only by the pallid rays that come from streams of liquid blue fire, and shows us a world in which the forests are colossal growths of pink and blue and green mushrooms and the commonest utensils of everyday life are made of solid gold. It is a curious, whimsical book. and. as usual, Mr. Wells has been doubly fortunate in having a sympathetic illustrator. Mr. Shepperson's pictorial interpretations of the text are thoroughly in keeping with the whole spirit of the thing and make the various phases of this imaginary moon life sufficiently vivid to haunt one with the persistence of a nightmare.

THE FIRST MEN IN THE MOON by H.G. Wells Pdf

The First Men in the Moon by Herbert George Wells is the unheralded novel by one of the founders of a science fiction genre. After the actual bankruptcy, the n character of the novel tries to hide in a province and start a new life as a novelist or playwright. But his neighbour turns out to be an oddish scientist who invents antigravity material. The main hero became friends with the oddish scientist and tempts him with a prospect of “commercialization of the invention”. Inspired by this idea, at the accelerated pace, they build a space vehicle in a shape of a sphere covered with antigravity material. While opening and closing the windows, our heroes fly away from Earth that doesn’t pull them anymore to the Moon, which quickly attracts them. At first, the Moon seemed completely lifeless and deserted but it began to in all senses at daybreak. The frozen at night air melts and in the beginning moon animals appear from underground caves and then selenites, intelligent Moon inhabitants emerge. Our travellers from Erath lose their spaceship in grown Moon jungles and then are captured by selenites. Eventually, they manage to escape from the underground. The main hero, nearly frozen to death in the Moon evening, reaches their spaceship after all, but the scientist is taken again as a prisoner by selenites…
