Chief engineer Bill Bonwitt races to the radio room, certain something is terribly wrong: not the transport blasting off, he insists, but the Moon itself, the whole Moon is on a rampage.

Harl Vincent's 1941 story opens on cosmic catastrophe at a lunar mining base, building a fast hard-SF space opera. Vivid, urgent golden-age SF. Read it for a gripping tale of engineers facing an impossible disaster as the Moon careens off its ancient course.
