About The Book:
Britain won the Moon Race! Decades before Neal Armstrong took
his "giant leap for mankind" two intrepid adventurers from
Lympne, England, journeyed there using not a rocket, but an
antigravity coating.
Mr. Bedford, who narrates the tale, tells of how he fell in with
eccentric inventor Mr. Cavor, grew to believe in his researches,
helped him build a sphere for traveling in space, and then
partnered with him in an expedition to the Moon.
What they found was fantastic! There was not only air and water,
but the Moon was honeycombed with caverns and tunnels in which
lived an advanced civilization of insect-like beings. While
Bedford is frightened by them and bolts home, Cavor stays and is
treated with great respect.
So why didn't Armstrong and later astronauts find the evidence
of all this? Well, according to broadcasts by Cavor over the
newly-discovered radio technology, he told the Selenites too
much about mankind, and apparently, they removed the welcome
mat!
