This carefully crafted ebook: "THE MOON TRILOGY: The Moon Maid, The Moon Men & The Red Hawk (Illustrated)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. The Moon Trilogy was originally set in contemporary Soviet Russia, with the Bolsheviks as villains, but since this was not popular with the publishers, Burroughs transferred it to a fictional setting, with the evil Communist-like "Kalkars" taking over the Moon (in the first part) and then the Earth (in the second part) and being finally overthrown in the third part. The prologue to the Trilogy constitute a future history, effectively Burroughs' vision of what the 20th Century held in store for humanity, which could be considered a kind of retroactive Alternate history - a genre rare in Burroughs' writings. The Trilogy is well regarded and described as the best of Edgar Rice Burroughs' "scientific romances". Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875 - 1950) was an American writer best known for his creations of the jungle hero Tarzan and the heroic Mars adventurer John Carter, although he produced works in many genres. Beside Tarzan's adventures, Burroughs also wrote popular science fiction and fantasy stories involving Earthly adventurers transported to various planets (notably Barsoom, Burroughs's fictional name for Mars, and Amtor, his fictional name for Venus), lost islands, and into the interior of the hollow earth in his Pellucidar stories, as well as westerns and historical romances.
