Take one Moon Base. Add one Ed 'SWORDFather' Valigursky cover [uncredited] and what do you get?
Moon Base by E.C.Tubb.
It's true! Woodsy and Wotan are alien slaves!
No really, from 1964, the plot runs thus:
"The cold war continues on the moon with the bases of each country carefully watching each other. Felix Larsen is sent to England's base to investigate reports of an attempted sabotage. What he finds is incredible. People falling a thousand feet with only minor bruising and someone with the inclination and means for suicide who is unable to commit the act. All inclinations point towards ABIC, the bases manufactured computer brain who is responsible for these events...but how and why is it doing it?" [Neil Morey]
Alien love slaves of that Devil Woman from Mars, eh? Some people have all the luck ^_^
ReplyDeleteIs the novel any good? Cos you've whetted my appetite now. The description reminds me a little of another novel ... can't quite recall it. Let me think.

ReplyDeleteOooh Toad, sounds like there is a "kink" in the space time continuum!
Not read the book I'm afraid Toad. I don't have time as I'm chained up in a martian dungeon!

ReplyDeleteLOL ^_^
The library has a copy. Maybe I can read it to you through the bars, Woodsy?
What, you mean your'e a talking toad?
ReplyDeleteYep. As the saying goes, there is no beginning to my talents ^_^
ReplyDeleteAs an amphibian you'll appreciate the marketing possibilities of the author's name for selling baths. With a slight change it could be E.Z.Tubb! Actually it's the name of his patented brain-container, which stores Wotan's grey matter as pictured on the cover, from whence he holds me prisoner in his diabolical death ray.
