Back cover text

Wanted:

"Seven passengers for first scheduled flight to moon. Great opportunity for two married couples to set up permanent housekeeping in Luna City. Contact D.D. Harriman, Harriman Enterprises, immediately."

Here is your ticket to the fascinating world of the future — a world where energy from the sun will be converted directly into power; where all cars and trains will have disappeared to make way for a nation-wide network of rolling roads; where men will hunger for new worlds to conquer — and will reach for the stars.

"An extraordinary achievement." —Saturday Review
