Description
The Moon Maker is a science fiction novel by Arthur Train and Robert Wood. A small press at Hamburg, New York, issued this edition in 1958. The printing was limited to five hundred copies. Frank McSherry drew the illustrations for the volume.
The story is told in five parts, from asteroid to moon. A summary at the front sets out the strange events behind it. During the world war, wireless messages signed Pax reached Washington's Naval Observatory. The sender claimed command over the forces of nature themselves. A craft called the Flying Ring then appeared in the heavens. Its lavender ray broke mountains in northern Africa and flooded the Sahara. Pax threatened to shift the earth's axis unless the nations made peace. Professor Benjamin Hooker sets out to find him.
