Brigands of the Moon follows Gregg Haljan, an officer aboard the spaceship Planetara, after Martian pirates seize the ship to steal a rare cargo of moon ore vital to Earth's technology, forcing Gregg to turn pirate himself to win it back. Ray Cummings, an early pulp SF writer who counted Thomas Edison among his personal acquaintances, continued Gregg's adventures in Wandl the Invader; both novels date from the early 1930s heyday of interplanetary pulp adventure.
