H.G. Wells' the First Men in the Moon (Alien Voices)

Summary: Wells' imaginative tale of a Victorian lunar expedition
Review: While the work is sadly dated by modern sensibilities (the moon has an atmosphere, among other problems) "From the Earth to the Moon" remains one his more imaginative works, mostly in his clever depictions of the Selenites and their culture, which differs markedly from the movie adaption by George Pal. Prof. Cavor and Mr.Bedford find themselves deep in the bowels of the moon attempting to elude the Selenites and launch their sphere to return to Earth once again. Wonderful appendix on Selenite civilization.
