The Moon Maid: Complete and Restored (Bison Frontiers of Imagination Series)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The Moon Maid is a tale of adventure in space, of the secret of the moon -- of humanlike quadrupeds and stranger fantastic things, all wrapped around an idea like something Robert Heinlein would write. Strange and true: at the moment Burroughs was writing Russia had just fallen to the communists, and terrible things were happening to personal liberty in that land. And so he wrote about fighting for the things he believed in, and so he made no bones about his political leanings -- or his fear for the future, not just for America, but for the world at large. "Edgar Rice Burroughs . . . has probably changed more destinies than any other writer in American history." -- Ray Bradbury

I shall not bore you with dry, technical descriptions of our motors and equipment. Suffice it to say that the former were of three types--those which propelled the ship through the air and those which propelled it through ether, the latter of course represented our most important equipment, and consisted of powerful multiple-exhaust separators which isolated the true Barsoomian Eighth Ray in great quantities, and, by exhausting it rapidly earthward, propelled the vessel toward Mars.
