About This Book
William Dixon Bell's prophetic 1937 novel was one of the first books to realistically discuss the possibility of terraforming another world, and the methods by which this might be accomplished. The novel is also one of the earliest to mention the use of solar power generators on the Moon and Robert Goddard's work on liquid fuel rockets.
