Interior text

One man against the hidden world of the Moon

As soon as he arrived on the Moon, Ted Dustin found himself thrown into desperate action. Maza an Ma Gong, the beautiful ruler of the friendly faction of Moon-people, had been attacked by a weird globe-ship, and had fallen with her winged mount to the surface. As Ted hurried to her rescue he saw a fantastic sight:

The girl was standing at bay before one of the round-bodied enemy Moon-men. The two were fencing — not with blades of steel, but with ray projectors. As Maza sought to reach her antagonist with her red ray he warded it off with a green ray from his own projector, and in turn menaced her with his weapon while she parried with the red ray.

Ted drew his pistol degravitor to dispatch the man — but he was unaware that there were many more of the enemy creeping toward them in the dark of the Moon's surface.
