5.0 out of 5 stars
A fun and interesting old sci-fi story,
By Kurt A. Johnson (North-Central Illinois, USA) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: City on the Moon (Hardcover)
Civilian City, set up by the United States to give other nations free access to the Moon, has always been a hotbed of intrigue. But, when someone tries to kill Joe Kenmore and his colleague, Moreau, with a bomb, it suddenly gets much more serious. Hurrying back to the City, Kenmore and Moreau are shocked to find it abandoned. Someone sabotaged the City, and they will stop at nothing to make sure that no one resurrects it. Now it is up to Kenmore and a few trusted associates to save the City on the Moon, and the very future of mankind!
Murray Leinster was the pen name of American author William Fitzgerald Jenkins (1896-1975), a prodigious author of fiction and non-fiction. He is rightly considered one of the fathers of science fiction; with his story "The Runaway Skyscraper" appearing in 1919! This book was published in 1957, and is a very good sci-fi book. It has that definite 1950s feel - with a tough, no-nonsense hero, and a heroine who adores him and need him to carry her through the adventure. If this sort of thing upsets you, then you will no doubt want to give this story a skip. But, allowing for its outdated feel and technology, it is a very interesting and exciting story, as you watch Kenmore never allowing the bad guys to get him down. This is a fun and interesting old sci-fi story, and I highly recommend it! |
