Destination - the Moon! No other adventurers had ever faced greater hazards than the crew of the rocket-ship Luna when she hurtled into space.
Jet Morgan, ace pilot, was her captain. With him were her Australian designer, Mitch; Lemmy, the Cockney radio operator; and Doc, whose diary astonished everyone...
Charles Chilton's classic science-fiction radio serial stormed the BBC airwaves between 1953 and 1958. With its gripping storylines and tense cliffhangers, it kept a devoted audience of almost 8 million people enthralled during its three series.
So popular were the radio serials that Chilton was inspired to write a trilogy of bestselling novels featuring Jet Morgan and his crew. First published in 1954, this thrilling first story as read by Aliens star William Hope, and tells how the Luna's adventures began.
N.B. The book is different from the radio series in two major ways: it includes the pre-launch story, originally the first 7 episodes of the radio series, which were left out of the re-recording for commercial release, deemed not as exciting - or necessary - to the rest of the story; and Jet Morgan is written and played as a Scot, very different from the American Action Hero voice of the radio series (the only thing about the radio series that made it sound a bit wrong to me - so I am pleased about this, but many reviewers aren't).
Includes CD art and sleeve notes in CBR format.
