Shortlisted for the 1961 Hugo Award, Rogue Moon is the disquieting and story of what happens when monstrous scientific ambition is matched by human obsession.
The moon had finally been reached, and on it was found the most terrifying structure, that killed men over and over again, in torturous, unfathomable ways. Clearly, only a mad man or a suicidal maniac could explore its horrible secrets.
All his life, Al Barker has toyed with death. So when the US lunar programme needs a volunteer to penetrate a murderous labyrinth, alien to all human comprehension, Barker's the man to do it. But what is required of Barker is that he withstand the trauma of dying, not just once, but time and time and time again ...
Algis Budrys (1931-2008) Born in East Prussia in 1931, Budrys and his family were sent to the United States when he was just five. After studying at the University of Miami and Columbia University, Budrys turned his hand to both writing and publishing science fiction. Over the years he worked as an editor, manager and reviewer for various publishing houses, while maintaining an impressive output of fiction and editing his own magazine, Tomorrow Speculative Fiction. He was shortlisted for numerous awards, including the Hugo and the Nebula, for his fiction and critical non-fiction. He died in 2008.

Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Rogue Moon is a short sf novel by Algis Budrys, published in 1960. It was a 1961 Hugo Award nominee. Now humans had actually reached the Moon, and on it the explorers found a structure. "The structure was a grim mystery. There was no way of knowing who had built it or what it had been used for. The only certainty was that every man the scientists sent to explore the thing died -- violently -- within minutes." Mass market paperback; no stated publishing history so presumed first edition, first printing thus. Publisher book number L1474, cover price $0.45. This is a used book. Pages are clean and bright with no markings, notes, or highlighting. Since this book is from 1960, there is some age browning on inside covers and top and bottom of text block which does not affect readability. Covers show shelf wear and are not creased; upper front corner shows a bend. No owner's marks or bookplates, not ex-library. Binding is tight and square. Hinges are secure. Price sticker on front cover. Shows the slightest spine lean. Corners not bumped. N° de réf. du vendeur L2313
