The Lunarian
A Novel of the Twenty Second Century
We bring you a bulletin from an age yet to come, from the perils of the high frontier. The spirit of man had been crushed across the globe, fallen under the slow and creeping poison of the Terran Union. Freedom existed only in those wastelands and exclaves too remote to attract the attention of the Bureau. The one land most free from the tyrannical grasp of the TU lay beyond the sky, the Moon. From the inaccessible depths of the Lunarian caves, the survivors of long lost expeditions have forged their own society. An Earthman crash-lands, and discovers wonders beyond imagination!

The Lunarian: Chapter 1
It was a clear, bright day. The Sun and the stars shone, and the Milky Way blazed in brilliant glory. The Earth was in its gibbous phase, its beauty shrouded in swirling clouds. Instantly, I knew where I was. I was on the moon. I possessed nothing but my pressure suit and the charred remains of my landing vehicle lay hopelessly cracked and twisted in the distance. I wondered how I had survived.
The Lunarian: Chapter 2.
Day by day, the sun grew almost imperceptibly lower in the sky, as the rover made its slow but steady way southward. I quickly learned the roverman’s way of life. For the first days, I was confined to the plexiglas chamber, and let out only under the watchful eye of Trader Munchhausen himself.
