Penniless and seeking inspiration, Mr. Bedford meets Dr. Cavor, a scientist on the verge of a groundbreaking discovery: a material that defies gravity. As Cavor's invention opens the door to lunar exploration, Bedford faces the thrilling possibility of achieving humanity's ancient dream. Will this unexpected partnership lead to triumph or peril on the moon's mysterious surface?
From the publisher
When penniless businessman Mr Bedford retreats to the Kent coast to write a play, he meets by chance the brilliant Dr Cavor, an absent-minded scientist on the brink of developing a material that blocks gravity. Cavor soon succeeds in his experiments, only to tell a stunned Bedford the invention makes possible one of the oldest dreams of humanity: a journey to the moon.
