Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Goddess of the Moon" by John Murray Reynolds is a science fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Larry Gibson, an earth-spy struggling with despair as a deadly epidemic known as the Gray Death ravages humanity. He is entangled in a desperate quest, alongside Crispin Gillingwater Ripon, to reach the Moon in order to retrieve crucial radium salts that could save Earth from this impending doom. At the start of the narrative, Gibson arrives in a devastated New York City, grappling with his own past failures as a pilot. He soon encounters Ripon, a quirky scientist determined to recover valuable resources from the Moon amidst the backdrop of societal collapse. Their unfolding journey introduces a cast of characters, including peculiar insect-like beings on the Moon and a mysterious girl, Diana, who may hold the key to humanity's hope. As they navigate political intrigue and opposition from the ruling forces of Gral-Thala, the opening chapters hint at action and adventure that promises to challenge Gibson's resolve and redefine his identity.
