THE MOON MAKER
In the midst of a world war, inexplicable wireless messages signed “Pax” begin to arrive at the Naval Observatory, promising control over nature itself. Violent earthquakes, spectacular auroras, and a massive, ring‑shaped craft that ravages deserts and mountains force the warring nations to confront a terrifying new power that threatens to tilt the Earth’s axis unless peace is achieved. The tension between desperate diplomacy and an unseen menace drives the early chapters, creating a suspenseful blend of wartime intrigue and speculative science.
Enter a determined Harvard physicist who, after independent research, traces the source of these disturbances to the remote wilds of Labrador. Facing harsh terrain and unknown dangers, he discovers the enigmatic Flying Ring just as its creators prepare to unleash their ultimate threat. Together with a bold aviator, he must decipher its technology and decide whether humanity can harness or survive this extraordinary invention.
