Runaway moon!

Moonbase Alpha is Earth’s supreme achievement. Self-sufficient and fully computerized, the fantastic lunar colony is Earth’s global watchdog, silently guarding against sneak alien attack. The dark side of the moon – once so mysterious, so unattainable – now stores in its womb containers of smouldering radioactive waste, refuse from Earth.

Then, in the year of Our Lord 1999, the serence satellite is ripped apart by thermonuclear explosion. And the 311 inhabitants of Alpha whirl through space on a runaway moon – in an orbit of jarring adventure where survival is a game of chance with the life forces of the universe!

Description:

An outstanding, rare collection of works essential for any definitive poetry library. – Midwest Book Review.

It's been more than thirty years since the appearance of a collection from America's laureate of light verse. Ogden Nash first gathered together an anthology of thirty years of his published works in 1959. In 1973 his daughters gathered more than four hundred of his poems and called it I Wouldn't Have Missed It, a quote from one of his verses. Now more poems have come to light, so his daughters have once again produced The Best of Ogden Nash, the definitive Nash anthology. The poems display the talent of the man whose verse entranced America from the time of the Great Depression until his death in 1971. The Best of Ogden Nash should delight old fans and introduce new readers to a unique talent.
