1960's Ballantine #F687 - "First Men In The Moon" - H. G. Wells

A circa 1962 printing by one of the premier science fiction writers of the ages.... H.G. Wells.

The brief storyline is.... "...alone, cut off from the rest of mankind by the vast distances of space, two men - not trained astronauts, but inexperienced amateurs who must face searing heat of Moon day, strange plants that poison the mind, weird insect-like Moon creatures, desperate battle in underground caverns lit by flames of blue fire and throbbing to the roar of a civilization no man has ever seen..."

These 160 pages are moderately and evenly toned with a cover that is clean and without tears or creases. All pages are intact with no dog-ears, writing or markings on the pages that I can see.
