Synopsis

This astonishing science-fiction classic begins like a prophecy of today's space achievements - a missile is fired from Earth to hit the surface of the Moon. It is successful and the missilemen are heroes, until...the Moon fires back!

Terrible Lunar missiles blast New York, London and Paris. And an ultimatum is delivered from the unsuspected civilization of our satellite: "You have attacked us! You will pay the penalty!"

MAZA OF THE MOON is novel of adventure, daring and heroism as a lone Earthman invades the Moon to find out the truth and save his world.

A nice fast fun read of one of Kline's adventure books, originally published in 1930. Otis Adelbert Kline (1891-1946), of course, imitated Edgar Rice Burroughs and his type of adventure story. This one is Kline's version of ERB's "The Moon Maid". Great cover by Frank Frazetta!......more
