10 pp · Science Fiction

When Earth's atomic fuel supplies dwindle to crisis point, Steve Drum is dispatched to Lunar Station on the Moon to investigate why shipments have stopped—only to discover that the station has been seized by mysterious criminals with a devastating ultimatum. Stowing away alongside him is Joan McClelland, whose father commands the station, and together they must infiltrate the lunar outpost to uncover the truth and stop Organization X from holding Earth hostage. It's a tense race against time across the void, where one misstep could doom billions on the home world.

In "The Man-Eating Lizards," a stranded airman finds himself trapped on a remote island where a savage tribe worships two colossal reptiles.

As the survivors flee the island, the native chief meets a gruesome end at the jaws of the very beasts he revered.
