Astounding Stories of Super-Science, August 1930

Then
there
was
Jaska
beside
Sarka,
her
face
fearful,
as
he
pointed
off
across
the
gloomy
expanse
of
the
Moon.
From
all
sides,
from
all
directions,
from
other
craters
which
these
two
had
not
even
seen,
came
scores
and
hundreds
of
the
monster
cars!
They
had
beaten
Luar
and
Dalis
but
for
a
moment,
then!
Now,
at
her
command,
the
countless
other
aircars
were
coming
in
to
head
them
off,
to
fight
them
back
to
the
surface
of
the
Moon.
It
would
be
a
race
against
time,
and
against
death.
But
of
at
least
a
dozen
of
the
aircars,
Sarka
was
master,
and
he
did
not
fear
the
issue.
That
strange
exaltation
which
the
white
flames
had
given
him
filled
him
with
a
confidence
that
nothing
could
shake.
He
shot
a
thought
at
the
gleaming
cube
in
the
forepeak.
"Faster!
Faster!
There
is
no
limit
to
your
speed!
Faster!
Faster!
Even
faster!"
Instantly
the
Moon
seemed
literally
to
drop
away
beneath
the
dozen
aircars
which
carried
the
Radiant
People,
while
the
aircars
of
Luar
and
of
Dalis
fell
hopelessly
behind.
Sure
that
they
would
win
in
this
race
now,
since
he
was
just
beginning
to
realize
the
vastness
of
his
power--the
all-encompassing,
all-mastering
power
of
the
human
mind
and
will,
which
the
white
flames
of
the
Moon
had
made
almost
god-like--Sarka
turned
his
eyes
toward
a
coldly
gleaming
sphere
in
the
star-spangled
heavens
ahead.
It
was
the
Earth,
and
it
seemed
ringed
in
flames!
From
its
edges
there
seemed
to
shoot
long
streamers
of
yellow
or
golden
flames,
which
broke
into
sunlike
pinwheels
of
radiance
at
their
tips.
Something,
there
on
the
precious
Earth,
was
decidedly
wrong!
