Summary | "Lunar Station" by Harl Vincent is a science fiction novel written during the early 20th century. The book explores themes of exploration and conflict on the moon, focusing on the ramifications of a mysterious event that disrupts lunar operations at a mercury mining station. The narrative blends elements of adventure and intrigue as it navigates the challenges faced by the inhabitants and the conflicts that arise from their interactions. The story follows Bill Bonwitt, the chief engineer at a moon base, who becomes entangled in a sinister plot involving his colleague Peterson and a mysterious native species known as the Selenites. After an unexplainable shift in the moon's axis leads to chaos at the mining facility, Bonwitt discovers that Peterson intends to exploit a hidden landscape within the moon for personal gain. This underground civilization, with its own history and desires, has plans for migration to Earth. As Bonwitt tries to thwart Peterson's dangerous scheme, he uncovers complex layers of betrayal, threatening both lunar inhabitants and earthly life. The climax intensifies when Bonwitt must navigate a conspiracy and figure out how to prevent a catastrophic disaster that could reshape both the moon and Earth’s future.
