John Munro’s 1894 Sunrise on the Moon opens this collection of 12 short sci-fi stories, which includes tales of lunar honeymoons, scientists sabotaging each other’s attempts to bring an astronaut home, and HG Wells’ story of a stranded explorer held captive by ferocious aliens.
Product information
Full publisher description
Before the Apollo 11 mission succeeded in landing on the Moon in 1969, writers and visionaries were fascinated by how we might get there and what we might find. The Greeks and Romans speculated about the Moon almost two thousand years before H. G. Wells or Jules Verne wrote about it, but interest peaked from the late 1800s when the prospect of lunar travel became more viable.
This anthology presents twelve short stories from the most popular magazines of the golden age of SF - including The Strand Magazine, Astounding Science Fiction and Amazing Stories - and features classic SF writers as well as lesser-known writers for dedicated fans of the genre to discover. Includes stories by Arthur C. Clarke, Judith Merril and John Wyndham.
