For most newlyweds, a honeymoon means leaving home for a little while. For Lord Redgrave and his beautiful American bride Zaidie, it means leaving the Earth behind.Aboard the extraordinary Astronef, a spacecraft driven by a revolutionary force capable of overcoming gravity, the newly married couple sets out upon an unimaginable voyage through the Solar System. Their journey carries them across the desolate landscapes of the Moon, into the skies of Mars, through the strange paradise of Venus, among the moons of mighty Jupiter, and onward to the mysterious realms of Saturn. Each new world presents its own wonders and dangers-from ruined civilizations and advanced societies to hostile inhabitants, fantastic creatures, and environments unlike anything found on Earth.Blending romance, exploration, scientific speculation, and extraordinary adventure, George Griffith transforms a wedding journey into a grand tour of the heavens. Filled with alien worlds, aerial battles, strange civilizations, prehistoric creatures, and daring encounters with the unknown, A Honeymoon in Space is a sweeping early work of science fiction that imagines what might await humanity beyond the boundaries of its home world.
