Rogue Moon

"During all recorded history she has hovered near the earth, a timeless symbol for the lover's ecstasy, a vast frontier for the adventurer's curiosity. Goddesses and Gibson girls have tripped the light fantastic of her surface while sonneteers and scientists have scanned her changing phases. Now man had actually reached the moon--and on it the explorers found a structure, a formation so terrible and incomprehensible that it couldn't even be described in human terms. It was a thing that devoured men--that killed them again and again in tortuous, unfathomable ways. Earthbound were the only two men who could probe the thing--Al Barker, a suicidal maniac, whose loving mistress was Death, and Dr. Edward Hawks, a scientific murderer, whose greatest mission was rebirth."--Back cover.
