The Moon Colony

"The Moon Colony" by William Dixon Bell is a science fiction adventure where Julian Epworth finds himself leading a fleet of planes carrying a massive load of gold, only to be attacked by sky pirates and pulled into a wild conspiracy linked to the moon. Julian and his buddy Billy Sand take to the skies for some intense dogfights and shocking revelations about what's happening beyond Earth. The story kicks off with our heroes soaring over a desert, guarding their golden cargo, but when a distress call comes in from another plane, they're thrown into a high-octane battle against a formidable pirate airship. This initial fight is just the start, as Julian and Billy are drawn into a shadowy web of secrets and peril, hinting at an adventure full of danger coming from both our world and somewhere out among the stars.
