About This Item

Chicago: A.C. McClurg, 1931. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo., 386pp. Beautiful First Edition, bound in orange cloth with titles and in black on front board and spine. Square, tight and clean throughout with no foxing or page toning. Some fairly minor wear to bottom edge and tip. Some softness to the spine ends and gentle bump to top front tip. Bookseller label on rear paste-down. Remarkably well-preserved. As is the stunning unclipped dust-jacket, ($2.00 on rear panel), which has very light wear to the top tips and a couple of tiny rubs to folds. Fresh and bright with no chipping, creases, toning or tears. Quite uncommonly signed by the author on the title page. A simply gorgeous collectable copy. (Hubin p. 405).

Synopsis

Gregg Haljan was aware that there was a certain danger in having the giant spaceship Planetara stop off at the moon to pick up Grantline's special cargo of moon ore. For that rare metal--invaluable in keeping Earth's technology running--was the target of many greedy eyes.But nevertheless he hadn't figured on the special twist the clever Martian brigands would use. So when he found both the ship and himself suddenly in their hands, he knew that there was only one way in which he could hope to save that cargo and his own secret--that would be by turning space-pirate himself and paying the BRIGANDS OF THE MOON back in their own interplanetary coin.Here is a science-fiction classic, as exciting and ingenious as only a master of super-science could write.Born in 1887, Cummings acquired insight into the vast possibilities of future science by a personal association with Thomas Alva Edison. During the 1920's and 1930's, he thrilled millions of readers with his vivid tales of space and time. The infinite and the infinitesimal were all parts of his canvas, and past, present, and future, the interplanetary and the extra-dimensional, all made their initial impact on the reading public through his many stories and novels.
