Armchair fiction presents extra large editions of the best in classic science fiction novels and short stories, complete with original illustrations. Here’s A terrific outer space adventure by Nat Schachner and Arthur Leo Zagat, “Exiles of the Moon,” To live they had to race to the moon! It was Earth in the distant future, and there were two types of people: The Aristocrats and the Workers. The wealthy, naturally, had all the power and enjoyed the benefits thereof; while the poor were the “Workers,” the countless millions who labored and toiled to the beck and call of their wealthy masters—essentially one step away from slavery…even death. But when one rebellious Worker, Gary Parker, dared to love a woman of the aristocracy, he found himself banished to an island filled with countless other deportees. Soon after, Parker and his outcast companions discovered the horrifying truth—a grisly radioactive death was speedily approaching. So an incredible plot was hatched, a plot that involved a stolen spaceship and a daring trip to the moon! The only question was, could they pull it off? And in the end could Gary Parker pave the way to social equality for all those on Earth? The question seemed in doubt until a fantastic secret weapon fell into their hands. Illustrated by Frank R. Paul.
