The major achievement of the principal character of the story, Akkad Pseudoman (pretended man), is the realization of a youthful dream that it is possible to create a means for escaping the earth's gravity, circling the moon, and returing alive with records to the earth."- Preface.

Imaginative travelling account to 'familiarize the lay and technical public with the vast possibilities latent in the production of high linear velocities by the use of electrically produced travelling waves of magnetic force ... unattainable achievement can be realized.'-- Preface.
