| Summary | "The Moon Maker" by Arthur Cheney Train and Robert Williams Wood is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The story unfolds during a time of global conflict and introduces Professor Benjamin Hooker, a scientist embroiled in extraordinary events triggered by mysterious messages from a being named Pax, who threatens catastrophic changes to the world if peace is not achieved. Hooker's adventures center around an incredible flying machine known as the Flying Ring, which he hopes to use to confront a looming threat from an asteroid on a collision course with Earth. The opening of the novel introduces the tense atmosphere of a world on the brink of war and chaos due to Pax’s ominous threats, which leads many nations to negotiate peace. Professor Hooker, determined to uncover the truth behind the mysterious phenomenon originating from Labrador, discovers the Flying Ring and eventually becomes a symbol of hope as the nations place their trust in him. Meanwhile, the narrative shifts to more personal matters as Hooker interacts with a young mathematics professor named Rhoda Gibbs, illustrating both his intellectual pursuits and the burgeoning relationship amidst the backdrop of impending doom. Throughout the first chapters, readers are drawn into a thrilling blend of science, adventure, and human connection set against the vastness of space and cosmic perils.
