Three loonies, Dick, Ned and Professor Benton, are completely unprepared for their trip to the Moon. They arrive just as a powerful earthquake destroys the capitol, are attacked by an alligator-octopus creature, hunt wild game on the Lunar plains, and almost get eaten by a sea monster. And that's just the first day! Will the Moon king powerful Prince Moda prove to be their greatest friend or bitterest enemy? The volume also contains the original novel reprinted for the first time since 1896.
