Product Description
Before 1969, every science fiction writer wrote his or her own version of the first Moon landing. I doubt if any carry the horror of Budrys' unsettling story.
~ ~~ ~
During all recorded history, the Moon has hovered above our heads, a timeless symbol for lovers' ecstasy. Goddesses and Gibson Girls have tripped the light fantastic of her beams while sonneteers and scientists have scanned her changing phases.
~ ~~ ~
Now man had actually reached the Moon, and on it the explorers found a structure, a formation so terrible and incomprehensible that it couldn't even be described in human terms. It was a thing that devoured men; that killed them again and again in torturous, unfathomable ways.
~ ~~ ~
Earthbound are the only two men who could probe the thing: Al Barker, a homicidal maniac, whose loving mistress was death, and Dr. Edward Hawks, a scientific murderer, whose greatest mission was rebirth.
~ ~~ ~
This is second printing, identical to the First in every aspect except for the book number and original cover price.
