One of the greatest science fiction novels by the master of the genre, Herbert Wells. «The First Men in the Moon» is a classic story of a bold journey that forever changed our understanding of space.
What if gravity could be... defeated?
This audiobook will introduce you to two completely different heroes: the enterprising businessman Mr. Bedford and the brilliant yet eccentric scientist Dr. Cavor. A chance meeting brings them together to create an incredible invention — «cavorite», a substance capable of blocking the force of gravity.
On a fragile sphere built with the help of this discovery, they set off on the boldest journey in human history — to the Moon.
They expected to find a dead, lifeless world. But what they discover beneath the lunar surface exceeds even the wildest expectations and the most terrifying nightmares. Their incredible adventure turns into a struggle for survival in the face of an utterly alien intelligence.
Listen to incredible discoveries, the clash of civilizations, and the staggering secrets hidden within Earth’s seemingly silent satellite.
