Here are three more stories from the pioneers of the early days of pulp science fiction.

Now the Titans, chafing under the so-called benevolent progress of their rulers, plot rebellion. In City on the Moon, the Earth shuttle's moon-based landing mechanism is destroyed by an avalanche.

This collection is an audio version of three short, classic SF novels.

City on the Moon by Murry Leinster
Giants from Eternity by Manly Wade Wellman
Lords of Atlantis by Wallace West

Murry Leinster seldom writes a bad story. This one is not his best but it is solid 1950s space danger with lots of hard science. I always like his stories.

Manly Wade Wellman's stories always have a creepy horror feel and most of his writing outside SF was straight horror. This story is no exception. It was pretty good but not my cup of tea.

Wallace West's story is more fantasy and space opera then straight SF. It's OK but the weakest of the three. ( )
