Summary "The Moon Colony" by William Dixon Bell is a science fiction novel written in the late 1930s. The story follows Julian Epworth, who leads a convoy of planes transporting a significant gold shipment and confronts aerial pirates while uncovering a mysterious plot involving the moon. Alongside his friend Billy Sand, Epworth embarks on thrilling adventures that involve high-stakes air combat and unexpected discoveries about extraterrestrial activities. At the start of the narrative, the characters are introduced as they fly over the desert, protecting a valuable airship carrying a fortune in gold. Their mission is soon jeopardized as they encounter signals of distress from a fellow aircraft, leading to an intense aerial battle against a powerful pirate airship. This confrontation sets the stage for Julian and Billy to delve deeper into a world of secrecy and danger, including a hidden agenda related to the moon. The opening portion establishes not only the action-packed premise but also hints at the adventurous and perilous journey that awaits the characters as they grapple with threats both terrestrial and extraterrestrial.
