Brood of the Dark Moon: (A Sequel to "Dark Moon")

_The Message_ [Sidenote: Once more Chet, Walt and Diane are united in a wild ride to the Dark Moon--but this time they go as prisoners of their deadly enemy Schwartzmann.] In a h...

_Into Space_ A pulsing pain that stabbed through his head was Chet's first conscious impression. Then, as objects came slowly into focus before his eyes, he knew that above him a ...

_Out of Control_ Walter Harkness had built this ship with Chet's help. They had designed it for space-travel. It was the first ship to leave the Earth under its own power, reach a...

_The Return to the Dark Moon_ No man faces death in so shocking a form without feeling the effects. Death had flicked them with a finger of flame and had passed them by. Chet Bull...

_A Desperate Act_ The ship that Chet Bullard and Harkness had designed had none of the instruments for space navigation that the ensuing years were to bring. Chet's accuracy was m...

"_Six to Four_" Perhaps to every person in that control room there came, as Chet's quiet, emotionless tones died away, the same mental picture; for there was the same dazed look o...

_The Red Swarm_ It was a matter of a half hour later when Harkness ordered them all outside. He had accepted Kreiss as an addition to their ranks and had made himself plain to Sch...

_Doomed_ The sun was high when they ventured forth. Diane would have come, but the two men would have none of it. They remembered the sight they had seen; they knew what was left ...

_A Premonition_ Fire Valley had been the home of the ape-men. On that earlier journey Walt and Chet had seen them, had fought with the tribe, and had lived for a time in their cav...

_A Mysterious Rescuer_ Their way led through tangled growths of trees and vines that were like unreal things of a dream. Unreal they were, too, in their strange degree of livingne...

_The Sacrificial Altar_ "I am off the trail," Harkness admitted. "Towahg guided me before; I wish he were here to do it now." They had pushed on for another short day, Harkness l...

_In the Shadow of the Pyramid_ They waited, unbreathing, listening to the occasional stealthy sounds. The pistol was still in Chet's belt; the three men were crouched before Diane...

_Happy Valley_ "Towahg!" Chet marveled; "you little devil! It's you who has been following us all this time!" "I wish he hadn't been so bashful," Harkness added. "If he had come ...

_A Bag of Green Gas_ Under a tree on the edge of the open ground a notched stick hung. Six sharply cut V's showed red through the white bark, then one that was deeper; another six...

_Terrors of the Jungle_ Towahg had learned the names of these white-skinned ones who came down from whatever heaven was pictured in his rudimentary mind. His pronunciation of them...

_Through Air and Water_ It was midday when they approached the heights they had reached on their flight from Fire Valley. Off to one side must lie the arena with the pyramid withi...

_Hunted Down_ Work on the house was resumed. "And when it is done," said Diane with a gay laugh, "Walter and I shall have our wedding day. Now you see why you were wanted so badly...

_Besieged!_ "I've felt it for some time," Chet confessed. "I've wakened and known I had been dreaming about that damnable thing. And, although it sounds like the wildest sort of i...

"_One for Each of Us_" For men who had come from a world where wars and warfare were things of the past, Chet, and Harkness had done effective work in preparing a defense. The kno...

_On to the Pyramid_ It was like Walt Harkness to rush impetuously after where Diane was being drawn away; but who, under the same circumstances, would have done otherwise? Yet it ...

_The Monstrous Something_ The way to the top of the pyramid was long. One look Chet allowed himself out over this world--one slow, sweeping gaze that took in the bare floor at the...

_Sacrifice_ "Down in the pyramid! You went down there?" Herr Kreiss forgot even his absorbing experiments to exclaim incredulously at Chet's report. Guided by Towahg, Chet had re...

_The Might of the "Master"_ As with other measures of matters earthly, time is a relative gauge. Nowhere is this more apparent than in those moments of mental stress when time pas...
