Summary "Lost on the Moon; Or, in Quest of the Field of Diamonds" by Roy Rockwood is a science fiction novel likely written in the early 20th century. This adventurous tale centers around two boys, Jack Darrow and Mark Sampson, who embark on a quest inspired by a Martian newspaper article suggesting the existence of diamonds on the moon, referred to as "Reonaris." The boys, along with their mentor, Professor Henderson, are eager to explore this possibility and intend to build a spacecraft for their lunar journey. At the start of the story, Jack and Mark engage in an animated debate about the authenticity of a newspaper article they brought back from Mars, which claims that a field of diamonds was discovered on the moon. They bring in their professors to help interpret the article, confirming their suspicions. Excited by the prospect of the expedition, they start planning their journey to the moon. However, there is a twist as Mark later disappears after exploring a mysterious nearby old house, leading to Jack's growing concern for his friend. This early setup introduces elements of adventure, exploration, and an intriguing hint of danger, which foreshadows the challenges they will face on their journey.
