The First Men in the Moon
(eAudiobook)
Description
London businessman Mr. Bedford is broke. He retreats to a beautifully mundane area of the British countryside to focus on writing a play, which he hopes will bring him financial success. By a stroke of luck, Mr. Bedford quickly reaches new heights…just not in the way he anticipated. Mr. Bedford's countryside retreat is interrupted by a peculiar physicist named Mr. Cavor, who is developing an anti-gravity material called cavorite. The unlikely pair sets sight on the moon and begins planning the first ever lunar expedition. Mr. Bedford sees it as a lucrative business venture. Mr. Cavor sees it as a chance for recognition in his field. But when they are captured by an alien species, they must face a more pressing matter: Will they make it back to earth alive? From the father of science fiction H.G. Wells, The First Men in the Moon transports readers to distant worlds while ultimately shedding light on our own human nature and civilization as we know it.
