Bizarre tale of the Earth threatened by humans living on the Moon. Apparently, a group of 17th century scientists colonized the Moon and now their descendents want to return to Earth. They send messages via a tele-cinema ray. Twentieth century Earth is too stupid to answer, so they threaten to destroy the Earth with a heat ray. As temperatures rise on Earth, it develops the tone of a fine disaster. Read it to fine out what happens next!
John Gilbert Bohun Lynch. English writer, amateur boxer, journalist, illustrator and critic.
Lynch’s interests were wide: in addition to fiction and journalism he was an accomplished caricaturist and wrote articles on visual art subjects; he produced a well-regarded History of Caricature (1926) and contributed to the Encyclopaedia Britannica. He also wrote travel writing (e.g., about the Italian Riviera), a critical biography of Max Beerbohm, and edited anthologies, including collections of ghost stories.
